seventh book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament
Judges is the seventh book of the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, telling stories of Israel's leaders and military conflicts during the period after Joshua's conquest of Canaan. The book matters because it shows how ancient Israel was governed before it had kings, and it includes famous stories like that of Samson that have influenced religious and cultural traditions for centuries.
