This text presents a theological college essay that examines the final chapters of the Book of Judges (17–21), focusing on the recurrent phrase, "In those days Israel had no king," to critique leadership and justice. The analysis breaks down these chapters by examining a series of failed human leaders—the Father, the Priest, the Man, the General, and the Wise Man (Uncle)—and links their shortcomings to different forms of skewed human justice, such as the pursuit of approval, legitimacy, love, success, and happiness. Ultimately, the essay contends that the chaos and injustice described highlight the profound need for divine justice and leadership rather than the flawed human attempts at rulership. The paper uses modern analogies and cultural references, such as The Godfather and the comedian Uncle Roger, to illustrate the enduring relevance of the biblical critique.
