The chronology of the book of Judges provided below is that derived by Robert B. Chisholm, Jr. chair and professor of Old Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary (Chisholm 2009: 252) wherein the author argues that the book’s central section is arranged in two parallel panels (Judges 3:12-5:31 NASB and Judges 6:1–16:31 NASB), both of which cover the period from 1336 (or 1334 in the case of panel two) to 1130 BCE (Chisholm 2009: 247). His arrangement defines Panel 1 as focusing on the south for the period 1336–1190 and Panel 2 as focusing on the north, for the most part, for the period 1334–1190 BCE. This arrangement fits the events of Judges, as well as events both immediately before and after the Judges period, into the 480 years designated by 1 Kings 6:1 NASB.
