==Overview==
 
Following the [[Conquest of the Land]] of Canaan by [[Joshua]] until the formation of the first Kingdom of Israel, 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''.
 
The [[Book of Judges]] mentions twelve Judges: [[Othniel]], [[Ehud]], [[Shamgar]], [[Deborah]], [[Gideon]], [[Tola]], [[Jair]], [[Jephthah]], [[Ibzan]], [[Elon]], [[Abdon]], and [[Samson]]. The First [[Book of Samuel]] mentions [[Eli]] and [[Samuel]], as well as [[Joel]] and [[Abiah]] (two sons of Samuel). The [[Books of Chronicles]] mentions [[Kenaniah]] and his sons, Amariah and Zebadiah (son of Ishmael).
