Judges -- Sources

Overview

Following the Conquest of the Land of Canaan by Joshua (traditionally dated around 1250 BCE) until the formation of the first Kingdom of Israel (traditionally dated around 1037 BCE), the ancient tradition of Israel claims that the Twelve Tribes formed a loose confederation. No central government existed but in times of crisis the people were led by ad hoc-appointed leaders known as Judges.
