Transcription: As this book opens, the Philistines, a traditional enemy, were exploiting the Israelites' disunity, pushing ever deeper into their territory. The Philistines had superior weapons, chariots in particular, and Israel had neither a central administration nor a regular army to mount an effective defense. A crisis of leadership was building, one that threatened the very existence of Israel.
