im not sure cuz in judges 10:8 it says this King James Bible

And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

and then in judges 13:1 it says King James Bible

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

hope i could help though im pretty sure its the first one:}

AnswerDifferent authorities reach different answers depending on their interpretation of whether all or just a particular part of Israel was under oppression at that time, and the dating of those events. Some authorities have a guesstimate, while others just don't know. Others such as Jordan [see Example 1 following] have actually dated all Judges and all periods of oppression for the entire period of the Book of Judges.

Example 1:

Jordan [see link] breaks down this entire period into and has 96 years of oppression out of a total of 350 years [2910 - 2560 = 350].

"So to sum up, here is my conclusion of the matter:

2513 - Exodus from Egypt.

2554 - Beginning of Conquest of the land.

2559 - End of Conquest, Division of the land. Caleb 85 years old.

2560 - Israel goes to its lands.

2620 - Beginning of 8-year oppression of Cushan (Jud. 3:8).

2628 - Beginning of Othniel's 40-year judgeship (Jud. 3:11).

2668 - Beginning of Eglon's 18-year oppression (Jud. 3:11-12)

2686 - Beginning of Ehud's 20-year judgeship and his 80-year peace.

2706 - Death of Ehud, beginning of Jabin's 20-year

oppression in the North (Jud. 4:3).

2726 - Beginning of Barak's 40-year judgeship and peace

in the North (Jud. 5:31).

2766 - End of Barak's Northern peace and Ehud's Central peace,

beginning of Midianite oppression (Jud. 6:1). The Midianite oppression

returns us to the Center of the land. From here on, Center and North

experience one set of problems, while South struggles with

Philistines (Jud. 3:31).

2773 - Beginning of Gideon's 40-year judgeship (Jud. 8:28).

2811 - Hypothetical birth of Boaz (see footnote 6 below).

2813 - Beginning of Abimelech's 3-year oppressive reign (Jud. 9:22).

2816 - Beginning of Tola's 23-year judgeship (Jud. 10:1).

2839 - Beginning of Jair's 22-year judgeship (Jud. 10:3).

2841 - Beginning of Eli's 40-year judgeship in the South (1 Sam. 4:18).

2861 - Beginning of Philistine oppression in the South and

Ammonite oppression in the Center and North (Jud. 10:5-7).

Births of Samson, Samuel, and Obed (see footnote 6 below).

The 300 years of Judges 11:26 begin in 2560 and end in 2860.

2878 - Beginning of Jephthah's 6-year judgeship in Center and North (Jud. 11:26; 12:7).

2881 - Death of Eli, beginning of Samuel's judgeship at Tabernacle

and Samson's judgeship in the South.

2884 - Beginning of Ibzan's 7-year judgeship in the Center and North (Jud. 11:9).

2891 - Beginning of Elon's 10-year judgeship in Center and North (Jud. 11:11).

2901 - Death of Samson, battle of Mizpah, deliverance from Philistine oppression.

2901 - Death of Elon, beginning of Abdon's 8-year

judgeship in Center and North (Jud. 11:14).

2909 - Death of Abdon; Samuel appoints sons, rejected; anointing

of Saul; accession of Saul.

2910 - Saul year 1. Samuel is 49.

2919 - Birth of David. Samuel is 58.

2929 - Hypothetical anointing of David at age 10. Samuel is 68.

2949 - Accession of David.

2950 - David year 1.

2989 - Accession of Solomon.

2990 - Solomon year 1.

2993 - Foundation of Temple laid, 480 years after Exodus.

3000 - Completion of Temple."

[end of quote]

(My Note on above Example: the years shown above are "AM" , or years after creation. For correlation and comparison, this means The date of Creation is "0" [that is, zero] AM which is the same as 4004BC (Ussher), and the Exodus at 2513AM is the sane as 146BC [Ussher]

Example 2:

RP BenDeket has 116 years oppression,

[see http://www.kingscalendar.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=viewnews&id=164]

Example 3:

Heath [see link] has 111 years oppression.

Conclusion:

As this period of oppression averages out at 108 years, if you said it was 110 or 111 years you couldn't be far wrong. [At least '111' is easy to remember]

There are two possible answers which, although quite contradictory, both mean that the Canaanites did not seriously oppress the Israelites:

The biblical view, exemplified by the Book of Joshua, is that the Israelites conquered the entire Canaanite nation in a swift assault marked by the extent of genocide that would leave any remnant Canaanites permanently unable to oppose the Israelites - in spite of Judges 4, which reports they oppresed the Israelites for 20 years.


The view of modern historians and scholars is that there was no military conquest. Instead, the Israelites were, themselves, rural Canaanites who migrated peacefully from the region of the rich coastal cities to settle in the hitherto sparsely populated interior. During the same period of turmoil, Sea People known as Philistines pushed the Canaanites northward from the southern coastal plains and foothills. While continuing to occupy the coastal plains north of present-day Tel Aviv, the Canaanites were conquered in turn by Sea People, Phoenicians, Israelites, Assyrians and then Greeks, yet maintained their separate ethnic identity for centuries.

The Canaanites oppressed the Israelites for twenty years (Judges ch.4). This was after Joshua's conquest, and involved some of the many Canaanites who remained. See also:

What did the Canaanites do to Israel?

The Canaanites came upon the land of Israel and co-habitated with the Israelites in a normal manor.They did have some fierce fighting from time to time,but no killings ever occurred. The Canaanites stayed until the Israelites realized that they were losing their religion know to them as the God of Exodus,to the Canaanites god of fertility Ba'al.They had been specificily warned about Not worshipping this false god of fertility Ba'al,By their own God of Exodus.The original message given to the Israelites seemed to imply that the Canaanites should be killed to avoid this problem.Later they realized what they should have done.They eventually decided to,and were able to rid themselves of the Canaanites and their gods.....

Why is Israel so small if the Promised Land is big?

AnswerThe apparent size of the Promised Land differs in various parts of the Bbile. However, if the Promised Land was the land of the Canaanites, then modern Israel is much larger. For example, the Canaanites did not occupy the Negev Desert, from which Exodus says the Israelites travelled on their way to the Promised Land. Nor did the land of the Canaanites include Philistia - the coastal strip and foothills north from the Egyptian border to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.Ancient Israel and Judah actually occupied a quite small area, based on the mountainous hinterland and the Jezreel Valley.

Why did the Hebrews believe Canaan was their promised land?

A:The biblical reason for this is that God promised the land of the Canaanites to their forebears. The real reason is surprising! Archaeologists and scholars have ascertained that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves, and had migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities, to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland - they had not come out of Egypt to invade and conquer the Canaanites at all. Centuries later, after the Hebrew people had long forgotten their real origins, they created legends of their supposed ancestors, their sojourn in Egypt and the conquest of Canaan, just as this tradition says that God told them.

How many years did Canaan oppress Israel?

According to the Book of Joshua, the Israelites conquered the entire land of the Canaanites and in doing so killed every person they found in the land. In spite of this, the Canaanites survived and according to the Book of Judges were soon, miraculously, able to oppress the Israelites. The period of the Judges is given in the Bible as 410 years, although in later years the main threat came from the Philistines and there were long periods of peace.However, historians and biblical scholars say there was no military conquest of Canaan and that the Israelites were themselves rural Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. A glorious but legendary history evolved centuries later, telling of conquests under Joshua and of subsequent trials and oppression, with the Israelite God YHWH providing salvation when the Israelites were prepared to obey and worship him. Thus, these stories of oppression by the Canaanites were, in large part, legendary.


How many years did the Canaanites oppress Israel?

Answer 1There is no evidence ... historic, archaeological, or Biblical ...that the Canaanites ever oppressed Israel.Answer 2The Bible does note that there are stretches of time during which Canaanites or people from the surrounding nations (such as Edomites, Moabities, or Arameans) oppressed certain tribes in Israel, but this occurred intermittently and never over the entire Israelite territory. Furthermore, the nature of this oppression was markedly different between every oppressive tribe and oppressed Israelite tribe. Some confiscated material wealth while others raped and pillaged. However, the Judges period (according to the Bible) takes roughly 400 years of which around half of the time one tribe or another was being oppressed.


How were Hebrew able to establish themselves in palestine?

They didn't. They established themselves in Israel. The country was only renamed Palestine by the Romans AFTER the Hebrews were kicked out.Tradition says they established themselves in Israel by Abraham, around 2000 BCE. Later, they return to Israel and had to battle the Canaanites, who moved in after them.Modern scholarship suggests that they actually WERE the Canaanites.
