The Bible, King James version, Book 7: Judges by Anonymous
"The Bible, King James version, Book 7: Judges" by Anonymous is a historical religious text likely written in the early centuries AD. This book recounts the history of the Israelites during the period of the judges, illustrating their cyclical struggles between obedience to God and rebellion against Him, often resulting in suffering and subsequent deliverance. The opening of "Judges" presents a series of narratives beginning with the death of Joshua, the appointed
leader of Israel after Moses. In response to a crisis, the Israelites, seeking guidance from God, are directed to wage war against the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. The text describes the military exploits of various tribes, primarily focusing on the tribe of Judah, who initially succeeds against their enemies. The narrative also introduces key figures like Gideon and tells of his rise to leadership against the Midianites, painting a vivid picture of Israel’s intermittent faithfulness and disregard for their covenant with God. Overall, this opening segment establishes the chaotic and tumultuous nature of Israel's history in the promised land and sets the stage for the conflicts and resolutions that follow.
