Judges up to Samuel as prophet

For brevity's sake our system of tallying years inverts to carrying forward in time, not back. For example the first oppression below began in 1545 and lasted 8 years. Thus Othniel began to judge in 1537. We continue this method on to the Fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC.

1545 Chushan-rishathaim • 8 oppressed Judg 3:8
1537 Othniel • 40 judged Judg 3:9-11
1497 Eglon of Moab • 18 oppressed Judg 3:14
1479 Ehud/Shamgar • 80 judged Judg 3:30
1399 Sisera/Jabin • 20 oppressed Judg 4:3
1379 Deborah • 40 judged Judg 5:31
1339 Midianites • 7 oppressed Judg 6:1
1332 Gideon • 40 judged Judg 8:28
1292 Abimelech • 3 oppressed Judg 9:22
1289 Tola • 23 judged Judg 10:1-2
1266 Jair • 22 judged Judg 10:3
1244 Ammon/Philistines • 18 oppressed Judg 10:8
1226 Jephthah • 6 judged Judg 12:7
1220 Ibzan • 7 judged Judg 12:8-9
1213 Elon • 10 judged Judg 12:11
1203 Abdon • 8 judged Judg 12:13-14
1195 Philistines • 40 oppressed Judg 13:1
1155 Samson • 20 judged Judg 16:31
1135 Eli • 40 judged 1 Sam 4:18
1095 Samuel prophet • 20 oppressed by Philistines after Eli 1 Sam 7:2
1075

Note: 134 years of oppression (total from above). See 1 Ki 6:1 discussion.

Note: Jepthah's reference to the 300 years Israel lived in Gilead (Judges 11:26) spans from the beginning of the Ammonite oppression 18 years earlier (c. 1244). This spans almost exactly to the beginning of the Period of Judges above, counting the years from the point Israel was established in the land and subsequently soon turned away from God. Judges 1 shows it took some time to actually possess the tribal allotments. Division and possession of lands at the individual family level would have also required time and effort not described in scripture. Judges 11:26 confirms the chronology of the era and the 12 historical references preceding it above. It DOES NOT suggest a separate chronology based on a single verse.
