Judges
Tribal leaders' chronicle
Judges is a book of the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, named for the military leaders who governed the Israelites between Joshua's death and the establishment of the monarchy.
These judges—figures like Deborah, Gideon, and Samson—were tribal heroes who delivered Israel from enemies.
The Book of Judges recounts cycles of apostasy and deliverance. (Lowercase judges refers to people who make decisions.)
