Within just a few years of Joshua's death, the spiritual vibe in Israel goes dramatically south.

To try and get the train back on the rails, God installs judges.

These aren't legally minded judiciaries, they are godly leaders raised up to defend Israel from its enemies, and the justice they dispense is often both sudden and dramatic.

The drama dial is set back to 10 as the Book of Judges begins.
