Key takeaway

How Judges 16 fits the whole book
Judges shows the downward spiral of Israel's covenant unfaithfulness and the mercy of God who raises up flawed deliverers. Chapter 16 of Judges contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
