Message To Kings - A Biblical History Of Man

After the death of Othniel, Israel's cycle of sin continues. Due to their unfaithfulness, God sold Israel into the hands of Eglon, King of Moab. Eglon subjugated Israel and oppressed the people. In addition to the oppression of Israel, a famine occurs which causes a man and his wife to flee from Bethlehem to Moab. The man's name was Elimelek and his wife was Naomi. After this, a disturbance occurs in Gibeah which results in the near destruction of the tribe of Benjamin.
