Lesson 9 Overview of the Judges
The Beginning of the Cycle The people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua and the days of the elders who outlived Joshua Joshua died at the age of 110 He was buried in his inheritance, Timnath Heres After this generation, there arose a generation that did not know the Lord
The Cycle Judges 2:11-19 The children of Israel served the Baals and forsook Jehovah Jehovah became angry and delivered them into the hands of their enemies They would cry out because of their opression Jehovah would raise up a judge to deliver them There would be peace for a while
The Canaanites Are Left God did not drive out the inhabitants of the land This is because the Israelites transgressed the covenant These nations were left as a test These nations were left to teach Israel the experience of war

The Time of the Judges The period extends from Othniel (nephew to Caleb) to Saul Be aware that skeptics date the conquest much later than the Bible does Saul is usually dated at around 1060-1020 BC Notice 1 Kings 6:1. Solomon began his reign in 961 BC 4 years later is 957 480 years earlier is 1437 40 years later is 1397, when they enter the land Josh 14:7, the initial battles took 5 or 6 years Give 25-50 years for Joshua’s generation to die and we come to 1366-1341 BC
