It seems according to the rest of the chapter that the judges that were recorded were from Zebulun's tribe. Ibzan, who was the first one listed, had great wealth as measured by his sons and daughters (60 children) but his sons all intermarried either with other tribes or with other people. His rule was for 7 years. The next one was Elon who led for 10 years and after him was Abdon who led for 8 years. He too was measured by the extent of his maleness.
All in all there were 12 judges and with the close of c 12, I have gone through the first 11. The next one will be Samson and will have the longest stretch in this book.
It was a tiring weekend which started with a marriage conference after a long day at work. I left work around 4ish and got home to NJ and headed to Staten Island after scarfing down dinner. The conference started at 7:30 and ended around 10: 30 PM. Quick turnaround that evening to start the next day there from 8:30 AM to 1 PM. Came home to do dinner for CNY at my sister-in-law's place with Irene's side which was nice. Sunday was with my side and that had some hitches as well but all was good. Nice to come back and stay the night in NJ with the holiday. Yesterday was early doctor's appointment and then an MRI on my kidney before I headed down here. The drive down was ok and got down here at a pretty early time. It was nice to see some back to back TV movies on Lifetime network that had a Christian theme.
Looking forward to seeing GG this week and hopefully I will get home on Thursday to see him. Already looking forward to the weekend and seeing Mary Poppins again before it closes with the family. Prayers for HOD as she recovers from her surgery and for Renee as she recovers from her bout with gout. Also for GG as he seeks to relocate closer to home.
Praise for today: Surely my God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. Psalm 54:4
