After Joshua's death, the life of the Israelites in the land of Canaan falls into confusion and darkness caused by idolatry. From around 1200 BC, the era of judge’s ruling in the promised land begins. The Book of Judges recorded about 200 years of history from the time when the Israelites entered the promised land until the appearance of the kingdom in Israel. Since this time of Judgment was not yet a king in Israel, the twelve tribes of Israel were not united by any political power. However, there is an expression in the Judgment that informs the impression of the monarchy. One is the expression that "every man did what was right in his sight, because he had no king in Israel"(Jdgs 17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25), the other is Abimelech's appearance. Was really there not a king in Israel at that time? This study attempts to analyze the allusion of the appearance of Israelite kingdom, which Deuteronomistic historians speak in the Old Testament, especially The Book of Judges.
