Judges 3:9-15

Leeser(i) 9 And the children of Israel cried then unto the Lord, and the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, namely, ‘Othniel the son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb. 10 And the spirit of the Lord came over him, and he judged Israel, and went out to battle: and the Lord delivered Cushan-rish’athayim the king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-rish’athayim. 11 And the land had rest forty years; and then died ‘Othniel the son of Kenaz. 12 And the children of Israel did again the evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord strengthened ‘Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done the evil in the eyes of the Lord. 13 And he gathered unto him the children of ‘Ammon and ‘Amalek, and they went and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of palm-trees. 14 And the children of Israel served ‘Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 15 But the children of Israel cried then unto the Lord; and the Lord raised up unto them a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera a Benjamite, a man who was lamed in his right hand; and the children of Israel sent by him a present unto ‘Eglon the king of Moab.
