 | | Judges, book of the Bible, seventh book of the Old Testament in the order of the Authorized Version. | | | The book consists mainly of lengthy accounts of a few judges: Deborah Deborah (dĕb`ōrə), in the Bible, prophetess and judge of Israel, the only woman to hold that office. | | | As stated in its introduction, the book is an account of Israel's successive apostasies from God and their consequences—first, punishment at the hands of a foreign nation, then delivery from it by God, who raises up a leader. |

| | Book of Judges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As for the stories at the end of the Book, which are set in the same time period as the judges, but discuss people other than the judges, there is much affinity between these and the Book of Ruth, and many people believe Ruth originally belonged amongst them. | | | Book of Judges (Hebrew: Sefer Shofatim ספר שופטים) is a book of the Bible originally written in Hebrew. | | | As it stands today, the last judge mentioned in Judges is Samson, and although there are two further stories, the traditional view is that Samson's exploits probably synchronise with the period immediately preceding Eli, who was both high priest and judge. |

| | The Book of Judges: The Israelite Tribal Federation and Its Discontents |
| | The Book of Judges interpreted by Yehudah Elitzur (Jerusalem: Mossad HaRav Kook, 1989) (Hebrew). | | | The process is reflected in the Book of Judges, both in the references shifting away from identifying people purely on tribal lines to also identifying them on territorial ones, as, for example, the people of Gilead, or judges as first and foremost coming from particular townships within tribes. | | | Judges begins the biblical shift of focus from the Joseph tribes to Judah, with its sister tribes, Simeon, that seems later to have disappeared within it, and Benjamin. |

| | BIBLE CHRONOLOGY |
| | From this analysis of the structure of the Book of Judges it will be seen that it is divided into two parts, each commencing with a summary statement of the fourfold cycle of events - apostasy, servitude, cry to God, deliverance - which are thereafter described in detail. | | | The story of Israel begins with the birth of Abram in Genesis 11.From that point on to the end of 2 Kings it is one continuous story throughout, interrupted by occasional illustrations like the two appendices in Judges 17- 21, the Book of Ruth, and the five appendices in 2 Samuel 21-24. | | | All the remaining periods of servitude, rest, usurpation and Judgeship in the Book of Judges are strictly consecutive and continuous.They are brought to a conclusion in Judges 16:31. |

| | The book of Judges |
| | The Old Testament book of Judges tells the story of what could be called the 'Dark Ages' of the chosen people. | | | Old Testament scholar Arthur Cundall identifies the central message of the book of Judges: "The period of the judges' is a faithful witness to the fact of man's frailty and to his need not of a merely temporal deliverer, but of an eternal Saviour who can effect a perfect redemption." | | | Having been told by Deborah, a prophetess and judge, that God would deliver the enemy into his hands, Barak is still not prepared to deliver Israel until he has the additional assurance of Deborah's presence at the battle (Judges 4:4-8). |

| | The book of Judges is primarily the negative theological counterpart to the book of Joshua. | | | The rest of the book of Judges (17-21) describes a situation deteriorating on two fronts, the breakdown of religious sensitivity (17-18) and finally the breakdown of social concerns that led to civil war among the tribes (19-21) in which the tribe of Benjamin was nearly annihilated. | | | The book is structured around a well defined theological premise, that the problems Israel had in securing the land were directly related to their ongoing love affair with Ba'al worship (see Ba'al Worship in the Old Testament). |

| | The book of Judges continues Israel's story from the death of Joshua (1.1-2.8) to just before the birth of Samuel, who is depicted as Israel's last judge (1 Sam 7.15). | | | The book does not attempt to fully depict this time period; not every oppression that Israel suffered during the judges' era is fully narrated (see 10.11-14). | | | Judges 1.1-2.5 introduces the reader to the pattern of Israel's increasing failure to drive out the Canaanites, which will be mirrored in the degeneration of the "cycles" section. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Book of Ruth |
| | The presence of the Book of Ruth after that of Judges in the Septuagint, whence it passed into the Vulgate and the English Versions, is easily explained by the systematic arrangement of the historical books of the Old Testament in that ancient Greek Version. | | | In the time of the judges, a famine arose in the land of Israel, in consequence of which Elimelech with Noemi and their two sons emigrated from Bethlehem of Juda to the land of Moab. | | | As the precise object of the Book of Ruth is not expressly given either in the book itself or in authentic tradition, scholars are greatly at variance concerning it. |

| | 2. Ruth |
| | Because the book was set "in the days when the judges judged" (1:1) and provides background to the family of David, the early Greek version placed the book of Ruth between the books of Judges and Samuel, a practice followed by Christian versions of the Old Testament. | | | Composed in the postexilic period from a pre-existing Ruth tale, and given a Davidic context of interpretation, the book of Ruth is probably evidence for an intense interest in the royal messianic line in the late biblical period. | | | Table 16.B displays the plot of the book of Ruth in relation to the movement from emptiness to fullness that is a central theme of the story. |

| | Judges is a book that teaches us both how they became captive to the enemy, and also how they got out of that bondage. | | | For while there is this consistent cycle that permeates through the entire book of Judges, we should not fail to see that there were long periods of time, while the judges ruled, that Israel did serve the Lord and did have victory over their enemies. | | | Judges 2:18-19 ‘Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them. |
