About Judges
The book of Judges records one of the bleakest chapters in Israel's history, covering roughly 350 years from the death of Joshua until the emergence of Samuel. Its Hebrew name, 'Shophetim,' does not primarily denote legal judges but refers to divinely appointed military leaders who delivered Israel from foreign domination. While the book opens with hope following the conquest under Joshua, it quickly reveals a nation slipping into spiritual and moral decline, as the generation that 'did not know the LORD or the work he had done for Israel' (2:10) forsook the covenant and embraced the idolatry of the Canaanites.
