The pasuk is telling us, even if the second judge argues on the first who is greater than him, he must listen to the current judge. According to the simple pshat, because we must listen to the judge according to the times and generation. They provide us the judge from the heavens for the current generation as this generation is not worthy to appreciate the greatness of the previous generation.
