And it came to pass after two years that Yehoshua died at 110 years old [(this is year 2516)], and the days that he judged Israel were 28 years [[And so Yuchsin in Seder HaDoros, and Rabbi Shimon bar Tzemach Duran in Part 2 of Magen Avot said that he judged 14 years (and this is the view of the Ra'avan, see year 2448), and this does not seem correct]], in the village of Kadesh...

And the elders judged Israel after the death of Yehoshua for 17 years, and Israel fought against the Canaanites [(Sefer HaYashar, and similarly Seder Olam).] The elders received from Yehoshua, and among them was Calev who was the main one, [as it says in Nazir (56b)] and also Pinchas [(Sefer Yuchsin in Seder HaDoros) (from the elders they transmitted to Eldad and Medad)] and they transmitted to Otniel...

Otniel [is Nachshon ben Aminadav the 2nd, and because he sanctified God's name through the serpent of the sea, he descended. Otniel through his pilpul of the sea of Torah restored three hundred halachot that were forgotten in the mourning of Moshe. 'Nachshon' - the letters are 'Chanuno 300.' Taking from the word 'Otniel' the letters 'El,' there remains 'Tani' in gematria with the kollel equals 'halachot' - thus 'Chanuno El 300 halachot'...]:

The idol of Michah [and the concubine in Giv'ah - according to Seder Olam chapter 12, these two events occurred in the days of Cushan Rishatayim at the time of Otniel (thus). And see years 2565 and 2616; 14 years ago these two events occurred, and see Tanna d'vei Eliyahu Seder Eliyahu Rabbah chapter 10. And in chapter Zekukin HaNorah (section 12): Why is the story of the concubine written at the end of the book of Shoftim after...]

Twenty-two tribes: All Israel gathered against the Benjaminites over the matter of the concubine in Giv'ah, and one thousand of the Benjaminites did not want to fight and they went to Italy to Rome, and until today it is not known where they are [(Abarbanel), and in Michlal Yofi, Shoftim 20, he brings this in the name of a tradition. But the Radak wrote that he found in a tradition that they went to the land of Ashkenaz to the city of Garmish...]

The idol [of Michah stood for three hundred years until the time of Tzidkiyahu, as stated in Seder Olam chapter 25, and the Radak and Ralbag wrote that this is far-fetched in their view - how is it possible that the righteous kings who existed did not abolish this idol? And chapter Radak explains that it existed until the exile of the Ark. And the Ralbag wrote until the days of Yavin king of Canaan (thus).] It is written in tradition that the Dan and the Jordan flow from it...:

Michah [the son of Gereshom and Ravshakeh (see year 250). The Levite who was a priest to Michah was Yehonatan ben Gershom ben Menashe, his reincarnation was Chasid (see Rabbi Yehudah ben Bava). Gershom ben Menashe was reincarnated in Rabbi Elazar ben Rashbi, etc.] Banias is a cave from Pamyas where Shmuel ben Gershon ben Moshe Rabbeinu is buried...
