The Book of Judges can be found in both the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It tells the stories of twelve "judges" who ruled Israel before the reign of King Saul (Israel's first king). For many years, Israelites became unfaithful to God and were punished for it. They'd then repent, cry out for mercy, and a "judge" appointed by God would save Israel and rule for a number of years in peace. This cycle repeated itself numerous times.
In this gallery, you'll get to know the men (and the woman) who ruled Israel during those troubled years. Click on and get to know the Judges of Israel.
