Chart of Israel’s Judges

June 18, 2020 By Krisan Marotta

Chart of the Judges of Israel | WednesdayintheWord.com

The book of Judges tells of the various leaders raised up to deliver Israel from the enemies remaining in the land after the conquest under Joshua.

The events in Judges took place in the period between Joshua’s death and the birth of Samuel (c. 1100 BC).

The Judges of Israel (c. 1375–1050 BC) came from various tribes and regions of Israel. They likely held varying degrees of influence over their neighboring regions and tribes.
