Judges 3

The first judges do not get much detail.

Othneil leads them and gets 40 years of peace.

Later, the people are oppressed by the Moabites. Ehud accompanies the tribute sent to the Moabite king, but ends up stabbing the king in his rolls of fat. He escapes like a ninja and the king's guards do not find the dead king until long after Ehud escapes. Ehud then call the Israelites to revolt against the Moabites.

Shamgar is the next leader and he once killed 600 philistines with an ox goad.
