The role of a judge in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing military leadership, judicial authority, and spiritual guidance. The period of the judges is primarily documented in the Book of Judges, which covers the time between the death of Joshua and the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. Role and Function Judges were raised by God during times of crisis to lead the Israelites against their enemies and to bring them back to faithfulness to the covenant. They were not judges in the modern legal sense but were charismatic leaders endowed with the Spirit of the Lord to fulfill their mission. Judges exercised authority over the tribes of Israel, often uniting them against common foes. Their leadership was typically regional rather than national, as Israel was a confederation of tribes during this period. Notable Judges 1. Othniel: The first judge mentioned in the Book of Judges, Othniel delivered Israel from the oppression of the king of Mesopotamia. "The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into his hand" (<a href="/judges/3-10.htm">Judges 3:10</a>). 2. Deborah: A prophetess and the only female judge, Deborah played a crucial role in the victory over the Canaanite army led by Sisera. She is noted for her wisdom and leadership, as well as her song of victory in <a href="/bsb/judges/5.htm">Judges 5</a>. "Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time" (<a href="/judges/4-4.htm">Judges 4:4</a>). 3. Gideon: Called by God to deliver Israel from the Midianites, Gideon is known for his initial hesitance and his request for signs from God. His account highlights God's power in using the weak to achieve His purposes. "The LORD said to him, 'Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die'" (<a href="/judges/6-23.htm">Judges 6:23</a>). 4. Samson: Perhaps the most famous judge, Samson was known for his extraordinary strength, which he derived from his Nazirite vow. His exploits against the Philistines and his eventual downfall due to his relationship with Delilah are well-documented. "He judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines" (<a href="/judges/15-20.htm">Judges 15:20</a>). Spiritual and Moral Lessons The era of the judges is characterized by a cyclical pattern of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. This cycle underscores the Israelites' tendency to turn away from God and the consequences of such actions. Judges served as instruments of God's mercy, providing deliverance despite the people's repeated unfaithfulness. The refrain, "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (<a href="/judges/21-25.htm">Judges 21:25</a>), highlights the moral and spiritual chaos of the time. Judges in the New Testament The concept of a judge is also present in the New Testament, where Jesus Christ is depicted as the ultimate judge who will execute divine judgment at the end of the age. Believers are reminded of the righteous judgment of God and the importance of living in accordance with His will. "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad" (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-10.htm">2 Corinthians 5:10</a>). Conclusion The judges of Israel were pivotal figures in the history of God's people, serving as deliverers and leaders during a tumultuous period. Their accounts are rich with lessons on faith, obedience, and the consequences of turning away from God. Through the judges, God demonstrated His sovereignty and faithfulness, providing a foreshadowing of the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(Hebrews shophet, pl. shophetim), properly a magistrate or ruler, rather than one who judges in the sense of trying a cause. This is the name given to those rulers who presided over the affairs of the Israelites during the interval between the death of Joshua and the accession of Saul (<a href="/judges/2-18.htm">Judges 2:18</a>), a period of general anarchy and confusion. "The office of judges or regents was held during life, but it was not hereditary, neither could they appoint their successors. Their authority was limited by the law alone, and in doubtful cases they were directed to consult the divine King through the priest by Urim and Thummim (<a href="/numbers/27-21.htm">Numbers 27:21</a>). Their authority extended only over those tribes by whom they had been elected or acknowledged. There was no income attached to their office, and they bore no external Marks of dignity. The only cases of direct divine appointment are those of Gideon and Samson, and the latter stood in the peculiar position of having been from before his birth ordained `to begin to deliver Israel.' Deborah was called to deliver Israel, but was already a judge. Samuel was called by the Lord to be a prophet but not a judge, which ensued from the high gifts the people recognized as dwelling in him; and as to Eli, the office of judge seems to have devolved naturally or rather ex officio upon him." Of five of the judges, Tola (<a href="/judges/10-1.htm">Judges 10:1</a>), Jair (3), Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon (<a href="/judges/12-8.htm">12:8</a>-15), we have no record at all beyond the bare fact that they were judges. Sacred history is not the history of individuals but of the kingdom of God in its onward progress.In <a href="/exodus/2-14.htm">Exodus 2:14</a> Moses is so styled. This fact may indicate that while for revenue purposes the "taskmasters" were over the people, they were yet, just as at a later time when under the Romans, governed by their own rulers. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In the wilderness Moses alone was the judge until Jethro suggested a scheme of devolution. On his advice Moses divided the people into groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, and over each group a wise and good man was set as a judge. Thereafter only the most important cases were brought before Moses (<a href="/exodus/18-13.htm">Exodus 18:13-26</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/1-9.htm">Deuteronomy 1:9-17</a>). This arrangement ceased to be practicable when the children of Israel settled down in Canaan. Although David took counsel with the heads of thousands and hundreds (<a href="/1_chronicles/13-1.htm">1 Chronicles 13:1</a>), it need not be assumed that this was a continuation of the plan adopted by Moses. Probably the local courts were not organized till the time of David. In the days of the Judges justice was ministered by those who had risen by wisdom or valor to that rank (<a href="/judges/4-5.htm">Judges 4:5</a>). An organized circuit court was established by Samuel, who judged cases himself, and also made his sons judges (<a href="/1_samuel/7-16.htm">1 Samuel 7:16</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/8-1.htm">1 Samuel 8:1</a>). After the monarchy was instituted, the king tried all cases, when requested to do so by the wronged person, in the palace gate (<a href="/1_kings/7-7.htm">1 Kings 7:7</a> <a href="/proverbs/20-8.htm">Proverbs 20:8</a>). There was no public prosecutor (<a href="/2_samuel/14-4.htm">2 Samuel 14:4</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/15-2.htm">2 Samuel 15:2-6</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/18-14.htm">1 Chronicles 18:14</a> <a href="/1_kings/3-16.htm">1 Kings 3:16</a> <a href="/2_kings/15-5.htm">2 Kings 15:5</a>). Under David and Solomon there were probably local courts (<a href="/1_chronicles/23-4.htm">1 Chronicles 23:4</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/26-29.htm">1 Chronicles 26:29</a>). Jehoshaphat organized a high court of justice (<a href="/2_chronicles/19-8.htm">2 Chronicles 19:8</a>). The prophets often complain bitterly that the purity of justice is corrupted by bribery and false witness (<a href="/isaiah/1-23.htm">Isaiah 1:23</a>; <a href="/isaiah/5-23.htm">Isaiah 5:23</a>; <a href="/isaiah/10-1.htm">Isaiah 10:1</a> <a href="/amos/5-12.htm">Amos 5:12</a>; <a href="/amos/6-12.htm">Amos 6:12</a> <a href="/micah/3-11.htm">Micah 3:11</a>; <a href="/micah/7-3.htm">Micah 7:3</a> <a href="/proverbs/6-19.htm">Proverbs 6:19</a>; <a href="/proverbs/12-17.htm">Proverbs 12:17</a>; <a href="/proverbs/18-5.htm">Proverbs 18:5</a>). Even kings sometimes pronounced unjust sentences, especially in criminal cases (<a href="/1_samuel/22-6.htm">1 Samuel 22:6-19</a> <a href="/1_kings/22-26.htm">1 Kings 22:26</a> <a href="/2_kings/21-16.htm">2 Kings 21:16</a> <a href="/jeremiah/36-26.htm">Jeremiah 36:26</a>). An evil king could also bend local courts to do his will, as may be gathered from the case of Naboth's vineyard (<a href="/1_kings/21-1.htm">1 Kings 21:1-13</a>). The first duty of a judge was to execute absolute justice, showing the same impartiality to rich and poor, to Jew and foreigner. He was forbidden to accept bribes or to wrest the judgment of the poor (<a href="/exodus/23-6.htm">Exodus 23:6-8</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/16-19.htm">Deuteronomy 16:19</a>). He must not let himself be swayed by popular opinion, or unduly favor the poor (<a href="/exodus/23-2.htm">Exodus 23:2, 3</a>). The court was open to the public (<a href="/exodus/18-13.htm">Exodus 18:13</a> <a href="/ruth/4-1.htm">Ruth 4:1, 2</a>). Each party presented his view of the case to the judge (<a href="/deuteronomy/1-16.htm">Deuteronomy 1:16</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/25-1.htm">Deuteronomy 25:1</a>). Possibly the accused appeared in court clad in mourning (<a href="/zechariah/3-3.htm">Zechariah 3:3</a>). The accuser stood on the right hand of the accused (<a href="/zechariah/3-1.htm">Zechariah 3:1</a> <a href="/psalms/109-6.htm">Psalm 109:6</a>). Sentence was pronounced after the hearing of the case, and the judgment carried out (<a href="/joshua/7-24.htm">Joshua 7:24, 25</a>). The only evidence considered by the court was that given by the witnesses. In criminal cases, not less than two witnesses were necessary (<a href="/deuteronomy/19-15.htm">Deuteronomy 19:15</a> <a href="/numbers/35-30.htm">Numbers 35:30</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/17-6.htm">Deuteronomy 17:6</a>; compare <a href="/matthew/18-16.htm">Matthew 18:16</a> <a href="/2_corinthians/13-1.htm">2 Corinthians 13:1</a> <a href="/1_timothy/5-19.htm">1 Timothy 5:19</a>). In cases other than criminal the oath (see OATH) was applied (<a href="/exodus/22-11.htm">Exodus 22:11</a>; compare <a href="/hebrews/6-16.htm">Hebrews 6:16</a>). The lot was sometimes appealed to (<a href="/joshua/7-14.htm">Joshua 7:14-18</a>), especially in private disputes (<a href="/proverbs/18-18.htm">Proverbs 18:18</a>), but this was exceptional. When the law was not quite definite, recourse was had to the Divine oracle (<a href="/leviticus/24-12.htm">Leviticus 24:12</a> <a href="/numbers/15-34.htm">Numbers 15:34</a>).
