Interested how the Philistines knew to take two cows, yoke them together (and ones which had never been yoked before) and set them along a road pulling the Ark on a cart, and 'knowing' that if the cows went in one certain direction, that it was God who had afflicted their pains and boils and problems. Who told them? How did they 'guess' at this? Strange.
Well, here again we meet Samson. He made some wise decisions, and with the help of God, ensured the Philistines would not bother the Israelites for a while.
I don't 'get much' out of today's reading, but it is a good set of stories depticing how different nations acted back then. Today, our world's nations don't act much better. Wars based upon greed, gods, God and evil persist. I truly wonder when God is going to cause an end to this madness. Will He send a human judge to ensure peace, or will it be Jesus Himself?
