The seven-fold cycle during the time of the judges refers to the repeated pattern of the Israelites sinning, being oppressed by their enemies, crying out to God for help, God raising up a judge to deliver them, the people experiencing peace, and then falling back into sin. This cycle is outlined in the Book of Judges in the Bible and highlights the Israelites' tendency to turn away from God and the consequences of their disobedience.
During the times of the judges did the Israelites stay faithful to one true God?
No. During the times of the judges there were many cycles of backsliding, oppression, repentance and deliverance. God repeatedly raised up judges each time Israel began to take on the idolatrous practices of the people they failed to drive out of Canaan. Israel became oppressed by these Gentile nations when they repented and cried out to God, God delivered them through judges (military leaders) who over threw the oppressors.

Not all the Judges were men because one was Deborah.

Who was the first Moabite to enter Israel?
According to the Bible, the first named Moabite who goes into Israel is Ruth. However, it is highly unlikely that she was the first Moabite to enter Israel as the Moabites and Israelites had economic and political relations during the period of the Judges as well.
Who served as a bridge between the Judges and the Kings of Israel?
The prophet Samuel served as a bridge between the Judges and the Kings of Israel. He anointed both Saul and David as the first two kings of Israel, transitioning the nation from a period of judges to a monarchy.
What was the cycle of apostasy during the period of the judges?
Cycle of apostasy is the cycle of abandoning one's religious faith. During the Judges stage, God's people (Israel) were to live in a way that would bless the entire world (some refer to this as "wow-weird", following the 10 commandments would draw other nations to them and eventually into their religion, which would bless the whole world). Israel forgot God during the Judges stage and failed to drive out all the Canaanites, which began the cycle of apostasy. Since they failed to do this, God let them experience covenant-curses, but when they cried out, he sent them deliverers (judges).
