These chapter cover the miraculous birth and life of Samson, the Nazarite, a person committed to the Lord. His love for Philistine women became his fall. We also find that the people did not have a king, and they did what was right in their own eyes. Micah made his son a priest, then hired a priest to be with him at his home of idolatry. The tribe of Dan relocated to the north of Israel, and they took the priest with them. The last story is the darkest, and one of the cities of Israel had become like Sodom and Gomorrah, which brought the death of a Levite's concubine. This Levite cut up her body and sent a piece to each of the 12 tribes, in order to show the group how bad things had become. The tribe of Benjamin was almost wiped out, except for 600 men, and Israel got 600 women from Jabesh Gilead who did not fight, and then stole women from a festival so that the tribe of Benjamin would not be completely destroyed.
