Concept:The period of the judges was marked by a repeated cycle of Israel’s failure, suffering, and rescue by God.
Explanation:After entering Canaan, the Israelites turned away from God’s commands.
This disobedience brought God’s punishment through foreign oppressors.
In their distress, the people cried out to God for help.
God then raised judges, or deliverers, to save them from their enemies.
This cycle of disobedience, punishment, and deliverance continued throughout the entire period of the judges.
