Shophetim
(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 ( Judges 2:18<span> ), 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 ( </span>Numbers 27:21<span> ). 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 ( </span>Judges 10:1<span> ), Jair (3), Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon ( </span>12:8-15<span> ), 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.</span>
Jamestown succeeded economically by planting and selling tobaccos.
Initially the people that came to start a colony in Jamestown had to go through
a lot of hardship as the water was not good and there were a lot of mosquitoes.
The men fell sick and did not find enough food to eat. Later they started
planting tobacco plants and became rich by exporting them to England. By the
year 1675 Jamestown exported almost ten million pounds of tobacco each year.
