                     impertinency of speech; to recapitulate, select, and

                  a prize. An arbitrator is one chosen to allot to two
                  contestants their portion of a claim, usually on
                  grounds of equity and common sense. A referee is one
                  to whom a case is referred for final adjustment.
                  Arbitrations and references are sometimes voluntary,
                  sometimes appointed by a court.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Judas
      the Graecized form of Judah. (1.) The patriarch (Matt. 1:2, 3).
     
         (2.) Son of Simon (John 6:71; 13:2, 26), surnamed Iscariot,
      i.e., a man of Kerioth (Josh. 15:25). His name is uniformly the
      last in the list of the apostles, as given in the synoptic
      (i.e., the first three) Gospels. The evil of his nature probably
      gradually unfolded itself till "Satan entered into him" (John
      13:27), and he betrayed our Lord (18:3). Afterwards he owned his
      sin with "an exceeding bitter cry," and cast the money he had
      received as the wages of his iniquity down on the floor of the
      sanctuary, and "departed and went and hanged himself" (Matt.
      27:5). He perished in his guilt, and "went unto his own place"
      (Acts 1:25). The statement in Acts 1:18 that he "fell headlong
      and burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out,"
      is in no way contrary to that in Matt. 27:5. The sucide first
      hanged himself, perhaps over the valley of Hinnom, "and the rope
      giving way, or the branch to which he hung breaking, he fell
      down headlong on his face, and was crushed and mangled on the
      rocky pavement below."
     
         Why such a man was chosen to be an apostle we know not, but it
      is written that "Jesus knew from the beginning who should betray
      him" (John 6:64). Nor can any answer be satisfactorily given to
      the question as to the motives that led Judas to betray his
      Master. "Of the motives that have been assigned we need not care
      to fix on any one as that which simply led him on. Crime is, for
      the most part, the result of a hundred motives rushing with
      bewildering fury through the mind of the criminal."
     
         (3.) A Jew of Damascus (Acts 9:11), to whose house Ananias was
      sent. The street called "Straight" in which it was situated is
      identified with the modern "street of bazaars," where is still
      pointed out the so-called "house of Judas."
     
         (4.) A Christian teacher, surnamed Barsabas. He was sent from
      Jerusalem to Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas with the
      decision of the council (Acts 15:22, 27, 32). He was a "prophet"
      and a "chief man among the brethren."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Judge
      (Heb. shophet, pl. shophetim), properly a magistrate or ruler,
      rather than one who judges in the sense of trying a cause. This
      is the name given to those rulers who presided over the affairs
      of the Israelites during the interval between the death of
      Joshua and the accession of Saul (Judg. 2:18), a period of
      general anarchy and confusion. "The office of judges or regents
      was held during life, but it was not hereditary, neither could
      they appoint their successors. Their authority was limited by
      the law alone, and in doubtful cases they were directed to
      consult the divine King through the priest by Urim and Thummim
      (Num. 27:21). Their authority extended only over those tribes by
      whom they had been elected or acknowledged. There was no income
      attached to their office, and they bore no external marks of
      dignity. The only cases of direct divine appointment are those
      of Gideon and Samson, and the latter stood in the peculiar
      position of having been from before his birth ordained 'to begin
      to deliver Israel.' Deborah was called to deliver Israel, but
      was already a judge. Samuel was called by the Lord to be a
      prophet but not a judge, which ensued from the high gifts the
      people recognized as dwelling in him; and as to Eli, the office
      of judge seems to have devolved naturally or rather ex officio
      upon him." Of five of the judges, Tola (Judg. 10:1), Jair (3),
      Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon (12:8-15), we have no record at all
      beyond the bare fact that they were judges. Sacred history is
      not the history of individuals but of the kingdom of God in its
      onward progress.
     
         In Ex. 2:14 Moses is so styled. This fact may indicate that
      while for revenue purposes the "taskmasters" were over the
      people, they were yet, just as at a later time when under the
      Romans, governed by their own rulers.
