1342 BC: Judge Othniel and his wife Acsah

Following the death of Joshua, Judah invades the land. Caleb offered his daughter in marriage to anyone who captured Kiriath Sepher. Othniel, the son of Kenaz, captured the city and received Acsah as his wife. Following the invasion, Acsah approached her father in a beautiful picture of women approaching the throne of God to ask for an inheritance. Next, the cycle of sin begins and the first of the oppressions of Judges began with an invasion of the Arameans, who oppressed Israel for 8 years. After 8 years, Othniel was raised up as the first Judge who brought peace to Israel for 40 years.
