Judges 1:21

Key Reflection

The verse from Judges 1:21 describes a partial conquest of the city of Jerusalem by the tribe of Benjamin, where the Jebusites, who were originally settled there, remained in residence alongside the Benjaminites. This situation would have been seen as a significant oversight or failure by the original audience, highlighting a lack of complete control over their own territory and setting the stage for ongoing tensions between the two groups.
