Judges

Book • 2016

Traditionally attributed to Samuel

The book of Judges covers approximately 330 years of Israel’s history, detailing a tragic cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance.

After Joshua's death, the Israelites failed to drive out the Canaanites and adopted their corrupt practices, leading to a repeated pattern of idolatry, foreign oppression, and God's deliverance through judges.

The book highlights six major judges—Othniel, Ehud, Deborah, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson—whose leadership and moral integrity decline over time.

The final chapters describe the moral and social chaos in Israel, emphasizing the need for a centralized monarchy and setting the stage for the books of Samuel and the establishment of kingship in Israel.
