The Judges served for about 365 years (1244 to 879 BCE, according to traditional chronology), from the death of Joshua until the time of King Saul. They served as Judges, as military leaders when the nation was under threat, and as spiritual leaders. In addition to the these, there have been regular judges, from the time of Moses (Exodus ch.18) down to this day. These are Torah-scholars whose function is to adjudicate disputes according to Torah-procedure.
The Book of Judges records those events in which some of the ancient Israelites began to sin (Judges 2:11), and were then persecuted by surrounding nations, as God had warned them (Deuteronomy ch.32). When the Israelites repented (Judges 2:1-4, 3:9, 3:15, 6:6, 10:10), God saved them from their enemies.

what was the role of kings in israelites history
In the Bible, there were actually 12 judges who were appointed to lead the Israelites during different periods of their history. These judges were Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, Deborah, Gideon, Tola, Jair, Jephthah, Ibzan, Elon, Abdon, and Samson. Each judge played a significant role in delivering the Israelites from oppression and guiding them in their faith.
If you're asking about the era of the Book of Judges, the implication of their role is that the Israelites always can benefit from strong leadership. The Judges not only led the people in a few instances of battle, but they also supervised the nation to prevent any incursions of idol-worship. This is why it was only after the death of a given Judge that some of the people began to dabble with foreign gods (Judges 4:1).See also:More about the Judges
