Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Judges: With Map, Notes and Introduction
I. Sfmz's. The book of Judges consists of three parts. The first part (ch. I. 1, iii. 7) forms an Introduction, obviously designed to connect the book with the previous narrative in Joshual. \ve have first a description of the condition of the Israelites immediately after Joshua's death, and their relations with the Phoenician peoples whom Joshua had left only half subdued (ch. I. I - ii. Then (ch. Ii. II - iii. 7) the writer proceeds to give a brief summary of his history chiefly from a moral and religious point of view, pointing out the cause of nwes, namely the disobedience of the people_t_o_ The second part (ch. Iii. 8 - xvi. 31) contains the history Of the Judges. In the t/zz'm' part (ch. Xvii. To end) the historian adds two episodes of a more private and personal character, obviously intended to illustrate the disordered Condition of the morals of the people, and to point to the value in the author's mind of the more regular system of government under which he lived. These episodes2 belong to a period of the history almost im mediately subsequent to the death Of Joshua, and are quite sufficient to account for the after history of the people.
