Table 1- Judges of Israel
|
Nevertheless, the LORD raised up judges who delivered
them out of the hand of those who plundered them. Yet they would not listen to their judges, but they played the
harlot with other gods, and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked,
in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do so.
And when the LORD raised up judges for them, the
LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the
LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that
they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down
to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.
...In those days there was no king in Israel. Every
man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Table 3- Kings of Israel & Judea
|
Then all the elders of Israel gathered together
and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, "Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways.
Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."
The thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give
us a king to judge us." So Samuel prayed to the LORD.
And the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice
of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should
not reign over them."
First Samuel 8.4-7
