Judges 1:10 stands in the introduction to the book of Judges, consisting of Judges 1, Judges 2, and Judges 3:1-6, also described as its opening chapters. Those opening chapters record Israel's experiences between Joshua's death and the raising up of Samuel, a period estimated at roughly 350 to 450 years.
The introduction shows that Israel had not possessed all of the country, that not all of it had been possessed. The opening chapters show Israel's failure to carry out the instructions God gave, their consequent captivity, and the help that came to them through the judges, or saviours, whom the Lord raised up on their behalf.
