The books of Judges and Ruth contain Jewish history that cover the time between the death of Joshua and birth of Samuel. They portray Israel as a tribal federation, becoming a nation, coming into possession of the Promised Land. The stories usually revolve around the faith and action of leaders.
Caleb, who had led under Joshua, needed to identify men and women with leadership faith, so he offered his daughter to become the wife of any man who would capture Kiriath-sepher. Othniel, Caleb’s nephew, stepped up and led the army to victory and received both Achsah and a dowry of land. While Romans emphasizes the “believing” of faith, Judges, like James, underlines the “doing.” God’s work is done when both are present.
