From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Judges, Book of
      is so called because it contains the history of the deliverance
      and government of Israel by the men who bore the title of the
      "judges." The book of Ruth originally formed part of this book,
      but about A.D. 450 it was separated from it and placed in the
      Hebrew scriptures immediately after the Song of Solomon.
     
         The book contains, (1.) An introduction (1-3:6), connecting it
      with the previous narrative in Joshua, as a "link in the chain
      of books." (2.) The history of the thirteen judges (3:7-16:31)
      in the following order:
      |                     FIRST PERIOD (3:7-ch. 5)
      |                                                                  Years
      | I. Servitude under Chushan-rishathaim of
      |      Mesopotamia                                                8
      |   1. OTHNIEL delivers Israel, rest               40
      | II. Servitude under Eglon of Moab:
      |      Ammon, Amalek                                          18
      |   2. EHUD'S deliverance, rest                        80
      |   3. SHAMGAR Unknown.
      | III. Servitude under Jabin of Hazor in
      |      Canaan                                                      20
      |   4. DEBORAH and,
      |   5. BARAK                                                   40
      |                                                                  (206)
      |
      |                  SECOND PERIOD (6-10:5)
      |
      | IV. Servitude under Midian, Amalek, and
      |      children of the east                                 7
      |   6. GIDEON                                                   40
      |         ABIMELECH, Gideon's son, reigns as
      |         king over Israel                                    3
      |   7. TOLA                                                      23
      |   8. JAIR                                                      22
      |                                                                  (95)
      |
      |               THIRD PERIOD (10:6-ch. 12)
      |
      | V. Servitude under Ammonites with the
      |      Philistines                                             18

      |   12. ABDON                                                      8
      |                                                                  (49)
      |
      |                  FOURTH PERIOD (13-16)
      | VI. Seritude under Philistines                     40
      |   13. SAMSON                                                   20
      |                                                                  (60)
      |                                                         In all 410
     
         Samson's exploits probably synchronize with the period
      immediately preceding the national repentance and reformation
      under Samuel (1 Sam. 7:2-6).
     
         After Samson came Eli, who was both high priest and judge. He
      directed the civil and religious affairs of the people for forty
      years, at the close of which the Philistines again invaded the
      land and oppressed it for twenty years. Samuel was raised up to
      deliver the people from this oppression, and he judged Israel
      for some twelve years, when the direction of affairs fell into
      the hands of Saul, who was anointed king. If Eli and Samuel are
      included, there were then fifteen judges. But the chronology of
      this whole period is uncertain.
     
         (3.) The historic section of the book is followed by an
      appendix (17-21), which has no formal connection with that which
      goes before. It records (a) the conquest (17, 18) of Laish by a
      portion of the tribe of Dan; and (b) the almost total extinction
      of the tribe of Benjamin by the other tribes, in consequence of
      their assisting the men of Gibeah (19-21). This section properly
      belongs to the period only a few years after the death of
      Joshua. It shows the religious and moral degeneracy of the
      people.
     
         The author of this book was most probably Samuel. The internal
      evidence both of the first sixteen chapters and of the appendix
      warrants this conclusion. It was probably composed during Saul's
      reign, or at the very beginning of David's. The words in
      18:30,31, imply that it was written after the taking of the ark
      by the Philistines, and after it was set up at Nob (1 Sam. 21).
      In David's reign the ark was at Gibeon (1 Chr. 16:39)
