THE JUDGES ACCORDING TO THEIR TRIBES, 12th to 11th Centuries B.C.
The Book of Judges was intended to give due credit to the various tribal heroes of the pre-monarchial age. On the other hand, the book stressed the shortcomings of even the most renowned of the judges, or deliverers. Subtle stress is placed on the fact that life is much better under the monarchy. At the beginning of the book, in chapter 1, the list of unconquered cities is annotated by the references to forced labor which was later imposed on the Canaanite population. The administration of such an institution as forced labor was only possible during the reigns of David and Solomon. The two accounts at the end of the Book of Judges are more explicit. Social anarchy and moral depravity, especially at the ancestral home of Saul, were rampant in the age when “There was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.”
