The book of Judges begins with two distinct introduction summaries. Judges 1:36 talks about the death of Joshua and some of the initial moments following when the tribes of Israel went to their lands and tried to conquer them. Chapter 1 ends revealing that the Israelites did not fully drive out the sinful inhabitants of their land but rather conquered and taxed them.
This refusal to obey leads us into a second summary chapter. It steps back slightly into the book of Joshua as Joshua has exhorted God's people to follow Him.
