rnThis keepsake edition of Judges was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years.nThe Book of Judges covers the time between the conquest described in the Book of Joshua and the establishment of a kingdom in the Books of Samuel, during which Biblical judges served as temporary leaders. The stories follow a consistent pattern: the people are unfaithful to Yahweh and he therefore delivers them into the hands of their enemies, the people repent and entreat Yahweh for mercy, which he sends in the form of a leader or champion, the hero delivers the Israelites from oppression and they prosper, but soon they fall again into unfaithfulness and the cycle is repeated.
