God's Word: Judges by ric gustafson
The author of this book could be the prophet Samuel. The book was written in 1050 BC. The book talks about Israel going through cycles of sin, suffering and salvation. After Joshua's death, it gets to be harder for the Israelites to drive out the pagan people. God's people began to worship idols. Then they suffered punishment by attackers. Then the people cried to God for help. Then God would send a judge to restore order. This became a cycle.
Lesser known judges included Othniel, Ehud, Tola, Jair and Jephthah. Famous judges included Gideon, Samson and the only female judge named Deborah.
