Judges 12:8-15
Three more obscure judges.
Why Ibzan wanted all his sixty children to marry foreigners I don't know.
Why Abdon gave seventy young donkeys to his sons and nephews to ride I don't know.
Why Elon had nothing to be said about him I don't know.
The Bible does not always have a spiritual agenda for recounting something. What about 2 Timothy 3:16? Even without a spiritual agenda, Bible passages are still useful. Anyone trying to reconstruct the history of the judges, needs the record of these obscure judges to be accurate.
God cares about accurate history. God cares about facts.
To ensure that what we say to others is not only sincere but also factual is a challenge. But it is a necessary one.
