Judges

Israel is settled in Canaan, and the land is divided among the 12 tribes. When a foreign invader is coming (e.g. the Philistines) to menace the Israelites, the Lord may choose someone (e.g. a farmer) to become the Judge of Israel and lead the military for a short period of time (4 years, 10 years, 20 years) and after your time as a Judge, you return to your life (e.g. as a farmer)

This period lasted around 200 years from 1250 BC to 1050 BC
