Witness the lives of three important judges of Israel after the death of Joshua such as Ehud, Deborah, Gideon and Samson. See God's mercy as he lets the Moabites take control of Israel and 18 years later sends Ehud, a left-handed man in a show of mercy to His people. Gideon, whose family and education was weak and self-esteem severely low, saved the Israelites from the Midianites. And Samson, whose weakness was his hair for if he cut it, he's lose his powerful strength, and eventually sacrificing himself to defeat the Philistines. These judges are sent by God to deliver Israel from its enemies after they'd done evil after each judge had died. Witness God's mercy and fatherly discipline as He disciplines His people by letting enemy nations take control, and shows His mercy by sending judges like Ehud, Deborah, Gideon and Samson to deliver them, and also giving those deliverers self-confidence and self-acceptance despite their weaknesses and flaws.
