Best Answer

Sometimes the judges were chosen directly by God (Judges ch.6) or by the people (Judges ch.11). At other times, the judge simply stepped forward and briefly assumed leadership. Most of the time, the judges were great in piety and Torah-scholarship (Exodus 18), so there was no question that they deserved to lead.
