The judges of Israel.Samuel has tribes. The term judges would be more intelligible in later times, and has probably been substituted for the more difficult original expression. The following clause seems to refer to individual rulers, but is not really incompatible with a reference to the ascendency or hegemony of different tribes at different epochs of Israelite history. (Comp. Gen. 49:10; 1Ch. 28:4; Psa. 78:67-68.) The word tribe (shbet) might only denote clan, or house, as in Jdg. 20:12 (Heb.).
To feed.Shepherd, or tendi.e., to govern. (Comp. Psa. 78:71.)
