*The ark taken*
Jephthah's vow - Judges 11:29-40
The Ephraimites quarrel with Jephthah -Judges 12:1-6
10th Judge, Jephthah, dies - Judges 12:7
11th Judge, Samson - Judges 15:20

*A thought*:
Why did Israel lose the battle even though the ark was with them? Perhaps they came to rely more on the ark than on God. When faith in God wavers, faith in inanimate
objects increased. And when that happens, victory is no longer assured.
*Week #14 Memory Verse*:
2 Timothy 1:7
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self- discipline"
