JUDGES
Who were the Judges? The Lord brought forth out of the people of Israel (they were Israelites) exceptionally strong leaders called Judges who delivered Israel from getting wiped out from the countries around them. There was also a woman judge, and she was awesome. The Judges kept Israel safe and free but never could quite get them to unite as a nation should (like under a king or queen). The time frame is 1200BC. Reading Judges is very lively and action filled. I recommend it!
