The main body of the story of the Judges revolves around six cycles of apostasy, repentance, and deliverance.

Explanation:

The book of Judges is the seventh book in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. It tells how different 'judges' were appointed by God to help lead the people.

In the Book of Judges, there are 6 cycles of apostasy, repentance, and deliverance. This is to say that the Israelites 'denounced' or 'refused' to obey God, leading to their 'punishment' and then their repentance and subsequent deliverance through 'judges' appointed by God.

The first 'judge' was Othniel (Judges 3:9), followed by Ehud (3:15), Deborah (4:4), Gideon (6:13), Jephthah (11:1), and then Samson (13:24). These leaders are a result of "the children of Israel [doing] evil in the sight of the Lord" (apostasy), their "[cry] unto the Lord" (repentance), and the appointment of the judges (deliverance).
