Building Benjamin: Naomi's Journey

By Barbara M. Britton

Description:

Naomi desires to dance well enough to catch the eye of a wealthy landowner. Her father needs a substantial bride price due to the deaths of her brothers at the hands of the tribe of Benjamin. But when Benjamites raid the Ephraimite feast and capture young girls, Naomi is bound and carried from her home by Eliab, a troubled shepherd who needs a wife. As Naomi awaits rescue, she finds Eliab has a strong faith in God and a just reason for abducting her. A reason that affects all the tribes of Israel. The future of the tribe of Benjamin hangs in the balance, but if Naomi follows her heart and stays with Eliab to rebuild his lineage, she must forfeit her family and become a traitor to her own tribe.

Book Takeaway:

Do what is right in the Lord's sight and all will go well with you.

Why the author wrote this book:

I read Judges 19-21 and didn't know this story was in the Bible. My son laughed when I told him about raiders grabbing wives, so I knew I had to write this story.
