'''Judges''' is the seventh book of the [[Old Testament]] relating to events associated with the temporary leaders of [[Israel]] called "Judges". Specifically, this "Book of Judges" describes the time period between the passing away of [[Joshua]] and the prophecies of [[Samuel]] and the leadership of King [[Saul]]. During this period [[Israel]] had no king and [[God]] called upon special people, "judges", to lead His people. They were leaders in society and battle and not like judges today.

The Book of Judges describes how the ancient [[Hebrews]] tended to obey [[God]] when there was a judge, but disobey Him (and fall prey to their enemies) when there was not a judge, whereupon the people would cry to [[God]] for help and He would respond by appointing a new judge.<ref>Judges 2:16-19.</ref>

The authorship of the Book of Judges has traditionally be attributed to [[Samuel]].

One judge was a woman and the remainder were men. The more prominent judges were:

* Gideon<ref>Judges chapters 6-8.</ref>
* Samson<ref>Judges chapters 13-16.</ref>
* Deborah<ref>Judges chapters 4-5.</ref>
