summaries are good and many people can benefit from a summary in many ways for many purposes.
summary of the book joshua
JOSHUA
joshua heard a prophecy "prepare to cross the jordan river". the israelites crossed. with a sword they circumcised to eat the passover meat because moses did not enforce circumcision for those born in the desert. [gasp! later, see for yourself joshua 5.5 but it is hard to read every word so use a summary]
they burned the cities jerico and aiy. they battled with the locals. they divided with a lottery the land on the east and west sides of the jordan river- for all the tribes. lists of names of towns. cities were chosen for levites. the tribes dwelled in their cities. [no tribe owned] "shiloh" the place of the tent of worship. joshua told the story of the nation.
END OF JOSHUA [short so one can read the summary slowly with contemplation, twice, and not hurry and to fit in busy schedules. the book is about joshua and its contents- a certain section joshua wrote "these words in the book of the law" challenge those who claim joshua was the author of this separate book] the pace is 28 pages per session to cover the 1400 pages in one year, weekly]
JUDGES
after joshua died, juda battled canaanites and prizites. god promised "I will not cancel my covenant with you" otniel and the nation rebelled against aram. debora the judge [judgess] and the nation rebelled against hazor. gidon and the nation rebelled against midian. gideon died and was buried. amonites attacked and jiptah defended. Samson was born and battled the philistines. five spies of dan took a sculpture and convinced its priest to accompany it with them. god said to battle benjaminites. then the elders told benjaminites to snatch women from the city of shiloh. end of the book Judges. are you thinking "sickos" ?
SAMUEL [i will ignore its division and use cronicles for the order of stories]
and CRONICLES [first which parallels some of samuel]
and RUTH summarised together
Samuel was born. Ruth came from Moab to the city Bethlehem. Boaz married Ruth and their son, named Obed was the father of Jesse father of david. end ruth. samuel heard his name and went to a man near him. eli said i did not call you. again he heard his name and said speak god and heard a prophecy. eli died and the elders asked samuel for a king. samuel put oil on king saul. amon attacked and saul defended. philistines conquered gibo of benjamin and jonathan battled them. saul feared and did not help. samuel said god searched for a man to rule--- god rejected you [edit to attach] samuel put oil on david. when david was anointed with oil he battled jebusites. god said to nathan tell david not to build a house for god.
end part one of summary.
