How many judges were there in Israel?

Explanation:
The question tests how the period of the judges is counted and who is included as a judge. The biblical record names a number of leaders who delivered Israel, spanning from Othniel and Ehud through Deborah and Barak, Gideon, and a sequence of others. In the later period described in Samuel, Israel is led by Eli and then by Samuel as judges. When you tally the distinct leaders—counting Barak alongside Deborah, and including Eli and Samuel as judges—the total comes to fifteen. This is the convention used in this material, even though some traditions vary in whether they treat Barak separately from Deborah or whether Samuel and Eli are counted as judges.
