The monarchs of Israel in the book of Judges?

Tradition puts the time of the Judges from the death of Joshua (1244 BCE) until the anointing of King Saul, some 355 years later. During that time there were no kings among the Israelites (Judges 19:1), because God ruled them (ibid. 8:23), meaning that they still felt God's presence strongly enough to not need a king. For a list of the Judges, see the attached Related Link.

What role did the Judges play in Hebrew society?

The Judges were the rulers and military leaders in times of war before the Kings were selected. The first Judge was Joshua (the supposed author of the book of Joshua), several important Judges (but probably not all) are named in the book of Judges, and the last Judge was Samuel who was involved in the selection of King Saul and King David. Unlike the later Kings the Judges could not tax the people nor maintain a standing army in time of peace and they lived like all the other people (no palace, courtiers, harems, etc.). The judges also played an important role in bringing Israel back to worshiping God and obeying God's Law. In the book of Judges there is a repetition of - backsliding, oppression, repentance and deliverance.
