Who led after Joshua in the bible?

Answer 1

Joshua was followed by the Judges (judge meaning to set right and rule). Who were afterword and against our Fathers wishes followed by the Kings. All of that became swept up by Jesus Christ who now stands as King of kings and Lord of lords forever.

• Answer 2

The answer is written in the Book of Judges

1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?

2 And the Lord said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

• Answer 3

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.
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.
The Judges:

• Othniel
• Ehud
  
• Shamgar
  
• Deborah

• Gideon
  
• Abimelech
  
• Tola
  
• Yair
  
• Jepthah
  
• Ibzan
  
• Elon
  
• Abdon
  
• Samson
  
• Eli
  
• Samuel

In addition to the above, 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.
