“Now, judges were established over them from the time they took over the promised land and before the monarchy began. And even during this era, the children of iniquity, that is, foreign foes, afflicted them, for we read they had now peace, now war. Even so, you can find periods of peace in the age of the judges longer…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — City of God 17.13

29And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
— Judges 3:30 —
