Israel Faces Arad
After the king of Arad attacked Israel and took captives, Israel made a vow to Yahweh for victory.
As Israel travelled by the way of Atharim, the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard they were coming. He fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
Then Israel made a vow to Yahweh. They asked him to deliver this people into their hand. If he did, Israel said they would utterly destroy the Canaanites' cities.
Yahweh listened to Israel’s voice and gave the Canaanites over to them. Israel utterly destroyed them and their cities, and the place was called Hormah. What do you notice about Israel bringing this crisis to Yahweh?
