Oh! How thankfully did the mother carry her baby back to their little home!
There she took care of him till he was old enough to be taken to the King's Palace, where he was called "the son of Pharaoh's daughter." It was she who gave him the name of Moses, "Because," she said, "I drew him out of the water."
Long afterwards, when God chose Moses to bring the Children of Israel out of Egypt, his sister Miriam went with him.
[IV. SAMSON]
AFTER Joshua was dead, the Children of Israel began to be very slack in serving God; and worse than all, they set up other gods, and worshipped them, as the heathen did around them.
God was very longsuffering, and He raised up Judge after Judge who delivered them from their enemies; but soon the people fell into idolatry again.
At length, God was so grieved at their evil ways that He delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for twenty years. And then He raised them up another Judge.
There was a man who served God, whose name was Manoah; and he had a godly wife, but they had no children.
