A Left-Handed Leader
*/Judges 3:12–30/*
/Purpose:/ To discover the ugly consequences of sin and the surprise of God's forgiveness.
In one of those cheaply produced local television commercials, a large, smirking man smoking a huge cigar is identified as the greedy landlord.
He is grabbing money from a line of discouraged-looking tenants and stuffing it into his already-full pockets.
But when the announcer shows how you can buy a new home and make payments lower than rent, the tenants triumphantly toss Mr. Landlord into his swimming pool.
Like those discouraged tenants, the Israelites found themselves paying tribute to a greedy king.
Their unwise choices to ignore God had caused the loss of their independence, so they were desperate for someone like the television announcer who would help them throw the greedy king off their back.
*Judges 2:16 Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
18 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.*

*What would happen to a life if a person gradually turns away and stops worshipping God?
*2.
*How do the attitudes and emotions of the Israelite people change in this story (vv.
12–15, 27–30)?
*Judges 3:12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
