Are you nuts? Paul has about a much to do with judges as
the man and them moon. Judges according to the NIV begins around 1370
BC and pauls first missionary was 46 to 48 AD. You have a difference
of 1400 years most of which is not represented by a continuous
history. In addition Paul was summarizing to people who were not all
that concerned about the accuracy of his statements.

The Jewish year is not a roman year.
