Judges, 1

1. Now after Joshua's death, the Israelites consulted Yahweh, asking, 'Which of us is to march on the Canaanites first, to make war on them?'

1. After the death of Joshua the people of Israel inquired of the LORD,of "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"

2. And Yahweh replied, 'Judah is to march on them first; I am delivering the country into his hands.'

2. The LORD said, "Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand."

3. Judah then said to his brother Simeon, 'March with me into the territory allotted to me; we shall make war on the Canaanites, and then I in my turn shall march into your territory with you.' And Simeon marched with him.

3. And Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you." So Simeon went with him.

4. So Judah marched on them, and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they defeated them at Bezek-ten thousand of them!

4. Then Judah went up and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Per'izzites into their hand; and they defeated ten thousand of them at Bezek.

5. At Bezek they came upon Adoni-Bezek; they joined battle with him and defeated the Canaanites and Perizzites.

5. They came upon Ado'ni-be'zek at Bezek, and fought against him, and defeated the Canaanites and the Per'izzites.

6. Adoni-Bezek took to flight, but they chased and captured him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

6. Ado'ni-be'zek fled; but they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7. Adoni-Bezek said, 'Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up the crumbs under my table. As I did, God does to me.' He was taken to Jerusalem, and there he died.

7. And Ado'ni-be'zek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their great toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has requited me." And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8. (The sons of Judah attacked Jerusalem and took it: they put its people to the sword and set fire to the city.)

8. And the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

9. And afterward the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the hill country, in the Negeb, and in the lowland.

14. When she arrived, he urged her to ask her father for arable land, but when she alighted from the donkey and Caleb asked her, 'What is the matter?'

14. When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field; and she alighted from her ass, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

15. she said to him, 'Grant me a blessing! As the land you have given me is the Negeb, give me springs of water, too!' So Caleb gave her what she wanted: the upper springs and the lower springs.

15. She said to him, "Give me a present; since you have set me in the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

Fußnoten:

1:1-2 - Nach Josuas Tod ersuchen die Israeliten Gott um Führung, wer gegen die Kanaaniter in den Krieg ziehen soll. Dies unterstreicht, wie wichtig es ist, in Zeiten des Übergangs und bei wichtigen Entscheidungen Gott um Rat zu fragen (siehe auch Jakobus 1,5 und Sprüche 3,5-6).

1:3-7 - Das Bündnis zwischen Juda und Simeon ist ein Beispiel für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Stämmen im Kampf gegen Feinde. Der Sieg über Adoni-Besek unterstreicht Gottes Gerechtigkeit bei der Vergeltung des Bösen und die Bedeutung der Solidarität unter den Gläubigen (siehe auch Prediger 4,9-12 und Psalm 82,3-4).

1:8-10 - Die Eroberung Jerusalems durch Juda symbolisiert Israels anhaltenden Kampf gegen Götzendienst und Unmoral. Dieses Ereignis weist auf die Notwendigkeit der Heiligkeit beim Einzug in das gelobte Land hin und spiegelt Gottes heiligen Charakter wider (siehe auch Levitikus 20:26 und 1. Petrus 1:15-16).

1:11-15 - Die Geschichte von Othniel, der Kirjat-Sepher eroberte, unterstreicht die Rolle des Geistes Gottes bei der Ermächtigung zu Führung und Sieg. Kalebs Hingabe an seine Tochter Achsa veranschaulicht die Bedeutung von Versprechen und Erbschaften im Familienleben (siehe auch 2. Timotheus 1:7 und Psalm 37:4).

1:16-21 - Die Erwähnung des Versagens der Stämme bei der Vertreibung der Kanaaniter unterstreicht Israels Versagen bei der Erfüllung von Gottes Versprechen. Dieses Zögern, den Götzendienst zu beseitigen, hat negative Folgen für die Nation und warnt vor den Gefahren geistiger Selbstgefälligkeit (siehe auch Deuteronomium 7:1-5 und Galater 6:7).

Verse im Zusammenhang mit Judges, 1:

Mit Kapitel 1 „Richter“ beginnt eine neue Phase in der Geschichte Israels. Wie gehen die Menschen mit der Abwesenheit eines einzigen Anführers um? Dieser aufschlussreiche Text beschreibt die Erfolge und Misserfolge der Stämme bei der Besetzung Kanaans. Das Kapitel stellt das Muster des teilweisen Gehorsams vor, das die Zeit der Richter charakterisieren wird, und hebt die Folgen des Ungehorsams hervor. Themen wie Gottes Souveränität, menschliche Verantwortung und Bündnisse werden untersucht. Betrachten Sie mit uns fünf Bibelstellen, die die Herausforderungen dieses entscheidenden Kapitels beleuchten.

Josua 15:63: "Die Jebusiter, die in Jerusalem lebten, konnten die Kinder Judas nicht vertreiben; So lebten die Jebusiter bis heute mit den Kindern Judas in Jerusalem." - Dieser Vers aus Josua knüpft direkt an Richter 1:21 an und zeigt die Kontinuität der Erzählung über die Unfähigkeit, die Jebusiter vollständig zu vertreiben.

Psalmen 106:34-35: "Sie haben das Volk nicht vernichtet, wie der Herr ihnen befohlen hatte; Vorher mischten sie sich unter die Nationen und lernten ihre Werke." - Dieser Psalm reflektiert die Zeit der Richter, einschließlich der Ereignisse von Richter 1, wo es Israel nicht gelang, die Kanaaniter vollständig zu vertreiben.

Hebräer 11:32: "Und was soll ich noch sagen? Denn mir würde die Zeit fehlen, wenn ich von Gideon, Barak, Simson, Jeftah, David, Samuel und den Propheten erzählen würde" - Obwohl die Ereignisse in Richter 1 nicht ausdrücklich erwähnt werden, zeigt dieser Vers die anhaltende Bedeutung des Buches Richter in der Glaubensgeschichte.

Deuteronomium 7:2: "Und wenn der Herr, dein Gott, sie vor dir ausgeliefert hat, um sie zu schlagen, sollst du sie völlig vernichten; Du wirst keinen Bund mit ihnen schließen, noch wirst du ihnen gnädig sein." - Dieser Befehl im Deuteronomium bildet den Hintergrund für die in Richter 1 beschriebenen Aktionen, in denen Israel versucht, diesen Befehl auszuführen.

2. Korinther 6:14: "Bindet euch nicht in ein ungleiches Joch mit den Ungläubigen; denn welche Gesellschaft hat Gerechtigkeit mit Ungerechtigkeit? Und welche Verbindung hat Licht mit Dunkelheit?" - Obwohl in einem anderen Kontext, spiegelt dieser Vers das Prinzip wider, das dem Gebot Gottes an Israel zugrunde liegt, sich nicht unter das Volk des Landes zu mischen, wie es in Richter 1 zu sehen ist.
