Judges 3:11-15

LEB(i) 11 So the land rested forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died. 12 And again the Israelites* did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. So Yahweh strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. 13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and Amalekites,* and he went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the city of palms. 14 And the Israelites* served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years. 15 And the Israelites* cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjaminite and a left-handed man.* And the Israelites* sent a tribute to Eglon king of Moab through him.*
