2. During this period the government of the Is'ra-el-ites was peculiar.
The Lord was their only King (Judg. 8. 23), but there was a priestly
order for religious service (Exod. 28. 1), and from time to time men
were raised up by a divine appointment to rule, who were called judges
(Judg. 2. 16). This constituted the =Theocratic Administration=, or a
government by God.

3. We subdivide this period as follows:

      1.) =The Wandering in the Wilderness.= This was a part
      of God's plan, and trained the Is'ra-el-ites for the
      conquest of their land (Exod. 13. 17, 18). It lasted
      for forty years (Deut. 8. 2).

      2.) =The Conquest of Ca'naan=, which immediately
      followed the crossing of the Jordan (Josh. 3. 14-17).
      The war was vigorously carried on for a few years, but
      the land was only seemingly conquered, for the native
      races remained upon the soil, and in some places were
      dominant until the time of Da'vid.

      3.) =The Rule of the Judges.= From the death of
      Josh'u-a, B. C. 1200?, the people were directed by
      fifteen judges, not always in direct succession.

4. This period has been justly called "the Age of the Heroes"; and from
many great men we choose the following:

      1.) =Mo'ses=, the founder of the nation (Deut. 34.
      10-12).

      2.) =Josh'u-a=, the conqueror of Ca'naan (Josh. 11.
      23).

      3.) =Gid'e-on=, the greatest of the judges (Judg. 8.
      28).

      4.) =Sam'u-el=, the last of the judges (1 Sam. 12. 1,
      2).
