The book of Judges is a book that focuses much attention on women. Four of these women are named (Achsah, Deborah, Jael, and Delilah), while the others remain nameless, and the degree to which these women are allowed to speak within the narrative world of Judges varies greatly. This paper will focus on the use and function of direct discourse within the following women's narratives: Achsah (Judg 1), Deborah and Jael (Judg 4, 5), Jephthah’s daughter (Judg 11), Samson’s mother, his Timnite wife, and Delilah (Judg 13-16), and the unnamed woman of Judg 19. As it has often been observed, the status of women within the book serves as a kind of gauge that measures the relationship Israel has with its deity. This paper will, through the lens of discourse analysis, examine the discourses involving the female characters of the book and argue that these discourses parallel both the decline of ancient Israel’s relationship with its deity as well as the decline of ancient Israelite society as they are depicted in the book of Judges. This study will privilege discourse analysis because this method aids in the examination of the manner in which language is employed to construct a symbolic world through text and speech.
