	The Stele of Mesha p. 2
		Since all victories took place by the intercession of the god, the god received credit for them; Mesha and the biblical judges did not boast of their own prowess, but of the favour of the national deity.
		Chemosh "drove out" the invaders from his land; Yahweh regularly fought on the side of Israel (Joshua 10:42, Judges 4:15).
		Chemosh demanded the holiest religious icon of the city, but perhaps nothing else; the livestock of the city, too, may have been spared.

	Book of Judges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern biblical scholars consider the Book of Judges to be a part of the Deuteronomistic History, which was probably compiled in the late seventh century BC using several earlier sources, and re-edited in the sixth century BC.
		Judges 1:22-36 is an account of the military campaigns of the house of Joseph.
		Judges starts off with the entrance of the Israelites into Canaan, however there are many Canaanite tribes still in the land who still resist them, so although they have entered the land they do not have full control of it.

	Minimalism," Ancient Israel," and Anti-Semitism by Philip Davies
		The mainstream view of critical biblical scholarship accepts that Genesis-Joshua (perhaps Judges) is substantially devoid of reliable history and that it was in the Persian period that the bulk of Hebrew Bible literature was either composed or achieved its canonical shape.
		Albrighteanism (which is the key to the invention of the myth of “minimalism”) was in fact a neo-conservative reaction against the critical advances of archaeology and literary-critical research that were beginning to distinguish between “history” and the “biblical story.” Albright sought to validate the Bible by means of its historicity.
		To discover “what the biblical writers knew” is both impossible and misguided; the question of one untrained in the interpretation of ancient texts and bound to literality as the only criterion of validity remains.

	Unreliable contradictory History in Kings, Samuel, and Chronicles in the Bible
		Biblical manuscripts are notoriously unreliable when it comes to historical fact, and these disagreements and contradictions appear not only between various works, but, in an even more bizarre fashion within individual books.
		'Chemosh' was not the god of the Ammonites as stated in Judges 11:24.
		The King of Moab offered a child as a whole offerings sacrifice to Chemosh, and the god responded by 'stirring up his wrath against Israel so they gave up the battle.' The Moabites are also painted in different colors, depending on the source.

	Reign of the Judges - The Condensed Biblical Cyclopedia on StudyLight.org
		Abimelech reigned three years, and after numerous conflicts was slain by a woman who cast a piece of millstone Upon his head from the tower of Thebez (Judges 9:22-57).
		After Abimelech's death, Tola, the son Of Dodo, of the tribe of Issachar, judged Israel twenty-three years (Judges 10:1,2).
		It is impossible to determine the time when the reign of The judges began, or the number of years covered by their reigns.

	Clarke's Commentary - Judges 12
		It does not appear that any thing particular took place in the civil state of the Israelites during the time of these latter judges; nothing is said concerning their administration, whether it was good or bad; nor is any thing mentioned of the state of religion.
		It is likely that they enjoyed peace without, and their judges were capable of preventing discord and sedition within.
		The Arabic has the same word, with sheen and seen; and adds, "He said Sebla, for the Ephraimites could not pronounce the letter sheen." These notices, however trivial at first view, will not be thought unimportant by the Biblical critic.

	Hebrew Poetry
		Biblical poetry may be subsumed under the following heads: (a) folklore, (b) prophetical, (c) speculative, (d) lyrical.
		Matthew Arnold rendered invaluable service to the cause of Biblical science when he fulminated against theologians, Jewish and Christian, for making the Bible a mere collection of proof texts, an arsenal whence religious warriors might get weapons with which to belabor their opponents.
		It is important, before coming to any definite conclusion, to take into consideration the fact that the poetry of the Old Testament belongs to periods separated by many centuries, from the Song of Deborah (Judges 5), the earliest Hebrew poem, down to the last hymns in the Psalter.

	The Book of Judges: The Israelite Tribal Federation and Its Discontents
		Judges begins the biblical shift of focus from the Joseph tribes to Judah, with its sister tribes, Simeon, that seems later to have disappeared within it, and Benjamin.
		The Book of Judges interpreted by Yehudah Elitzur (Jerusalem: Mossad HaRav Kook, 1989) (Hebrew).
		The process is reflected in the Book of Judges, both in the references shifting away from identifying people purely on tribal lines to also identifying them on territorial ones, as, for example, the people of Gilead, or judges as first and foremost coming from particular townships within tribes.

	'Buddhist' translation of biblical Psalms
		But even there, the idea of a personal God did not mesh neatly with Fischer's Buddhist philosophy, which doesn't find the need for a creator deity who acts in history, judges sinners and performs miracles.
		Once he learned the English translation, some of those Bible verses shocked him with their violent imagery of an angry God burning his enemies alive: "You will destroy their offspring from the earth, and their children from among humankind."
		That's the kind of religious violence we've come to expect from the "evildoers," those Islamic terrorists who fly jetliners into buildings and blow up innocent children in pizza parlors.

	Articles - Daily Life in the Days of Samuel
		There was one centered around Tell Balatah (Biblical Shechem), likely the one that Abimelech of Judges 9 was the chief over, that was fairly big.
		The Israelite towns were small, possibly 400 people in the largest of these, as for example at Khirbet Seilun (Biblical Shiloh) or el-Jib (Biblical Gibeon).
		One may generalize that all villages within a thirty kilometer diameter circle were subject to the paramount chief, who lived at the major town of the area.

		"It is precisely because Biblical revelation is absolutely authoritative and perspicuous that the scientific facts, rightly interpreted, will give the same testimony as that of Scripture.
		No geologic difficulties, real or imagined, can be allowed to take precedence over the clear statements and necessary inferences of Scripture." Henry Morris, _Biblical Cosmology and Modern Science_ (1970) p.

	From Monolatry to Monotheism within the Biblical Texts
		The biblical texts reveal that many Israelites worshipped God as part of a triad of gods( Judges 2:13; 10:6; 1 Samuel 7:3-4; 12:10; 2 Kings 23:4-7).
		As indicated by the title of this article, this refers to the biblical world�s view of God(s)� at least as recorded by the elite of society (that is, by those educated enough to record these accounts).
		Recently, I began reading a wonderful book by Jack Finegan, called Myth and Mystery: An Introduction to the Pagan Religions of the Biblical World.

		I refer to the human sacrifices of Leviticus, Judges, and 2 Samuel; the sanctioning of slavery in Exodus and Leviticus; the selling of one's daughter, the killing of witches, death for heresy and violating the sabbath, all to be found in Exodus.
		The weakness of Morris's position lies in the fact that the individuals selected not only have minor roles in the overall biblical scheme of things, but have been inaccurately portrayed.
