We recommend reading this book first if you have not already.
Israel can finally enter the land of Canaan! God gives them instructions to guide how they conquer the land. But sadly, we see that the people follow their own ideas more than God's way of doing things. They get rid of the Canaaanites in their own way, even though God gave them different instructions.
Once they are settled in the land, they again need to decide: will we accept God's way of government, or will we form our own government? For some time, they accept that God is their King, who speaks to them through judges who hear His voice. But finally, they ask for a king, just like the nations around them. What will happen next?
Read the stories of how the Israelites conquer Canaan, the stories of the judges, and the lives of the first two kings of Israel.
