The line of the Judges begins with [[Moses]] and his immediate successor [[Joshua (Biblical leader)|Joshua]], because both men performed all three functions of biblical Judges. The careers of the remaining Judges are described in the [[Book of Judges]], except for [[Eli]] and [[Samuel]], whose careers are described in [[I Samuel]].

[[Abimelech]] is not considered a Judge, because he was a tyrant and a fratricide. Nevertheless his name appears in most lists of the Judges of Israel.
