The Book of Judges forms part of what is now known as the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kings) and is about events purportedly occurring in Israel before the start of the monarchy under King Saul. The earliest material is believed to be the 'Song of Deborah' (Judges chapter 5). It is unclear how much of the Book of Judges is based on fact, but some scholars doubt the the period of the Judges really encompassed 400 years.

How long was the period of the Judges?
AnswerBased on the evidence of the Book of Judges in its discussion of each of the judges, the period of the judges is over four hundred years, but a chronological contrivance leads to the conclusion that this is a purely artificial timespan. The number of years of peace brought about by each of the major judges, or the number of years of their ruling, is consistently a multiple of 20. For example, after Othniel's defeat of Cushan-rishathaim, Israel had 40 years of peace (Judges 3.11), then after Ehud, it remained free of strife for 80 years (Judges 3.30), and so on. These periods were clearly chosen because they were easy to remember when narrative epic stories handed down through the generations until their final versons were committed to writing. Scholars say that the Israelite tribal period, or period of the Judges, was undoubtedly much shorter than four hundred years.
