Judges 10-12 is a section of the Book of Judges in the Old Testament that covers the rule of three judges: Tola, Jair, and Jephthah.
Tola judged Israel for 23 years and was followed by Jair, who judged for 22 years. Both judges are described as leading peaceful times for the Israelites.
Jephthah, on the other hand, is a more complex figure. He was a skilled warrior and leader, but his story is marred by his vow to sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house if he was victorious in battle. Tragically, the first thing to greet him upon his return was his own daughter, whom he had to fulfill his vow to sacrifice.
The story of Jephthah highlights the importance of sound doctrine, particularly when it comes to making vows or promises. Jephthah's vow was rash and ultimately led to tragedy. Sound doctrine would have taught him to carefully consider the consequences of his actions and to seek God's guidance before making such a serious commitment.
Sound doctrine is essential for all believers, as it provides a solid foundation for our faith and helps us avoid the pitfalls of false teaching and misguided beliefs. The Bible warns us about false teachers and the importance of discernment, and sound doctrine is the key to both. By studying and understanding the teachings of the Bible, we can ensure that our beliefs are grounded in truth and that our actions align with God's will.
