The Book of Joshua: The Inheritance of the Promised Land (Bible stories for kids 6)

To our Beloved Children: What do you know about historical books?
To know the Judges' era in the Old Testament, we have to know the various historical stages from the standpoint of the salvation of mankind.
1. The creation stage
2. The renewal stage
3. The patriarchs' stage
4. In the land of slavery
5. In the promised land
6. There was no king to rule the people in all the previous stages, but God was the One who plans for the righteous people. When Joshua died, the people were exposed to slavery because of their sins. So from time to time, God sent them judges to arrange the matters of some of the tribes or all of them. God remained to be the King, and the leaders were the judges.
7. The people insisted on having a king like the other nations, so they chose Saul, handsome and full of physical strength. However, God chose for them a righteous king, who was David the prophet and the King.
