‘Lapho UJehova Evusa Abahluleli’

UNGAYITHOLA kalula iNtaba iThabori (F4) ebalazweni—eningizimu-ntshonalanga yoLwandle LwaseGalile, eSigodini SaseJizreyeli. Zama ukubona ngeso lengqondo ibutho lamadoda angu-10 000 lihlangene esiqongweni sale ntaba. UJehova wasebenzisa uMahluleli uBharaki nomprofethikazi uDebora ukuba bashoshozele u-Israyeli ukuba alwe nenkosi yaseKhanani uJabini, okwase kuyiminyaka engu-20 imcindezele. Ngaphansi kwenduna yempi uSisera, izinqola zikaJabini ezingu-900 ezazinamasikela ensimbi esabekayo zasuka eHarosheti zeza emfuleni owomile waseKishoni, phakathi kweMegido neNtaba iThabori.

UMahluleli uBharaki wahola amadoda akwa-Israyeli wehla nawo waya esigodini salapha ukuze alwe namabutho kaSisera. UJehova wenza ukuba anqobe ngokuvele alethe isikhukhula esenza izinqola zikaSisera zabhajwa, amaKhanani esaba. (AbA 4:1–5:31) Leyo kwakungenye yezimpi eziningi u-Israyeli azinqoba ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu ngesikhathi saBahluleli.

Ngemva kokunqotshwa kweKhanani, izwe labelwa izizwe zakwa-Israyeli. Bheka ukuthi izizwe ezihlukahlukene ezingewona amaLevi zazihlalaphi. Isizwe esincane sakwaSimeyoni sathola imizi endaweni kaJuda. Ngemva kokufa kukaJoshuwa, ingokomoya nokuziphatha kwesizwe konakala. U-Israyeli “waba sebunzimeni obukhulu,” ecindezelwe izitha. Emzwela, ‘uJehova wavusa abahluleli’—amadoda angu-12 anokholo nesibindi—akhulula u-Israyeli enkathini eyiminyaka engamakhulu amathathu.—AbA 2:15, 16, 19.

UMahluleli uGideyoni wasebenzisa amadoda angu-300 kuphela ayengahlomile okutheni kodwa engamasosha asheshayo ukuba anqobe amasosha akwaMidiyani angu-135 000. Yayibambene phakathi kweNtaba iGilibowa neMore. Ngemva kokunqoba zisuka nje, uGideyoni waxosha isitha wasishonisa empumalanga, ogwadule.—AbA 6:1–8:32.

UJefta wakwaGileyadi, ongowesizwe sakwaManase, wakhulula imizi yakwa-Israyeli esempumalanga yeJordani eyayicindezelwe abakwa-Amoni. Lapho eyonqoba, kungenzeka ukuthi uJefta wahamba ngoMgwaqo WeNkosi, owawuxhumanisa iRamoti-gileyadi ne-Aroweri.—AbA 11:1–12:7.

USamsoni wayehlasela amaFilisti ogwini olungaseGaza nase-Ashikeloni. IGaza isesifundeni esinamanzi amaningi esidume ngezolimo. USamsoni wasebenzisa izimpungushe ezingu-300 ukuze athungele ngomlilo amasimu amaFilisti, izivini nezixhobo zeminqumo.—AbA 15:4, 5.

Njengoba uthola ekulandiseni kweBhayibheli noma uma ufunda ngezizwe zakubo, abahluleli babesebenza kulo lonke iZwe Lesithembiso. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi babekuphi, uJehova wayebanakekela abantu bakhe abaphendukayo uma besosizini.
