Verses 1-5 shows the wickedness of the judges.
This was before David became king and when king Saul was against david, david was labelled as Rebel of the nation and all the judges that are with saul , inorder to please saul had judged him saying yes David is rebel and must be caught and killed.and so David ran away.
characteristics of these judges --
1) It is not that they by mistakenly have given a wrong judgement.
but in their hearts they work out wickedness.
Isaiah 57:20 says - They were tossing on the bed with thoughts of wickedness.
But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
When it cannot rest,
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
2) They are estranged from the womb.
The wicked are born sinners.
3) They keep accusing people like a snake spit poison.
They refuse to hear - David was not even given a chance to make his case.
David did not rebel against Saul. He waited and allowed God to work in his toughest moments of life.
He didnot hurrily gather some people and rebelled against king.
He did not do things on his own. But waited patiently for God to deal with the his situation.
The great encouragement is that God will take revenge on the enemies.
There is a reward for those live for God who wait upon God.
