Judges 3:8-30

  8 H639 Therefore the anger H3068 of the LORD H2734 [H8799] was hot H3478 against Israel, H4376 [H8799] and he sold H3027 them into the hand H3573 of Chushanrishathaim H4428 king H763 of Mesopotamia: H1121 and the sons H3478 of Israel H5647 [H8799] served H3573 Chushanrishathaim H8083 eight H8141 years.

  9 H1121 And when the sons H3478 of Israel H2199 [H8799] cried H3068 to the LORD, H3068 the LORD H6965 [H8686] raised up H3467 [H8688] a liberator H1121 to the sons H3478 of Israel, H3467 [H8686] who liberated H6274 them, even Othniel H1121 the son H7073 of Kenaz, H3612 Caleb's H6996 younger H251 brother.

  10 H9001 And H7307 the Spirit H3068 of the LORD H1961 came H5921 upon H9033 him, H9001 and H8199 [H8799] he judged H3478 Israel, H9001 and H3318 [H8799] went out H9005 to H4421 war: H9001 and H3068 the LORD H5414 [H8799] gave H3573 Chushanrishathaim H4428 king H763 of Mesopotamia H9003 into H9023 his H3027 hand; H9001 and H3027 his hand H5810 [H8799] prevailed H5921 against H3573 Chushanrishathaim.

  11 H776 And the land H8252 [H8799] had rest H705 forty H8141 years. H6274 And Othniel H1121 the son H7073 of Kenaz H4191 [H8799] died.

  12 H1121 And the sons H3478 of Israel H6213 [H8800] did H7451 evil H3254 [H8686] again H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD: H3068 and the LORD H2388 [H8762] strengthened H5700 Eglon H4428 the king H4124 of Moab H3478 against Israel, H6213 [H8804] because they had done H7451 evil H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD.

  13 H622 [H8799] And he gathered H1121 to him the sons H5983 of Ammon H6002 and Amalek, H3212 [H8799] and went H5221 [H8686] and smote H3478 Israel, H3423 [H8799] and possessed H5892 the city H8558 H5899 [H8677] of palm trees.

  14 H1121 So the sons H3478 of Israel H5647 [H8799] served H5700 Eglon H4428 the king H4124 of Moab H8083 H6240 eighteen H8141 years.

  15 H1121 But when the sons H3478 of Israel H2199 [H8799] cried H3068 to the LORD, H3068 the LORD H6965 [H8686] raised them up H3467 [H8688] a liberator, H164 Ehud H1121 the son H1617 of Gera, H1145 a Benjamite, H376 a man H334 H3225 lefthanded: H3027 and by him H1121 the sons H3478 of Israel H7971 [H8799] sent H4503 tribute H5700 to Eglon H4428 king H4124 of Moab.

  16 H164 But Ehud H6213 [H8799] made H2719 him a dagger H8147 which had two H6366 edges, H1574 of a cubit H753 length; H2296 [H8799] and he girded H4055 it under his raiment H3225 upon his right H3409 thigh.

  17 H7126 [H8686] And he brought H4503 the tribute H5700 to Eglon H4428 king H4124 of Moab: H5700 and Eglon H3966 was a very H1277 fat H376 man.

  18 H3615 [H8765] And when he had finished H7126 [H8687] offering H4503 the tribute, H7971 [H8762] he sent away H5971 the people H5375 [H8802] that bore H4503 the tribute.

  19 H7725 [H8804] But he himself turned back H6456 at the quarries H1537 that were by Gilgal, H559 [H8799] and said, H5643 I have a secret H1697 errand H4428 to thee, O king: H559 [H8799] who said, H2013 [H8761] Keep silence. H5975 [H8802] And all that stood H3318 [H8799] by him went out from him.

  20 H164 And Ehud H935 [H8804] came H3427 [H8802] to him; and he was sitting H4747 in a summer H5944 parlour, H164 which he had for himself alone. And Ehud H559 [H8799] said, H1697 I have a message H430 from God H6965 [H8799] to thee. And he arose H3678 from his seat.

  21 H164 And Ehud H7971 [H8799] put forth H8040 his left H3027 hand, H3947 [H8799] and took H2719 the dagger H3225 from his right H3409 thigh, H8628 [H8799] and thrust H990 it into his belly:

  22 H5325 And the handle H935 [H8799] also entered H310 after H3851 the blade; H2459 and the fat H5462 [H8799] closed H1157 upon H3851 the blade, H8025 [H8804] so that he could not draw H2719 the dagger H990 out of his belly; H6574 and the dirt H3318 [H8799] came out.

  23 H164 Then Ehud H3318 [H8799] went forth H4528 through the porch, H5462 [H8799] and shut H1817 the doors H5944 of the parlour H5274 [H8804] upon him, and locked them.

  24 H3318 [H8804] When he had gone out, H5650 his servants H935 [H8804] came; H7200 [H8799] and when they saw H1817 that, behold, the doors H5944 of the parlour H5274 [H8803] were locked, H559 [H8799] they said, H5526 [H8688] Surely he covereth H7272 his feet H4747 in his summer H2315 chamber.

  25 H2342 [H8799] And they tarried H954 [H8800] till they were pale: H6605 [H8802] and, behold, he opened H1817 not the doors H5944 of the parlour; H3947 [H8799] therefore they took H4668 a key, H6605 [H8799] and opened H113 them: and, behold, their sovereign H5307 [H8802] lay H4191 [H8801] dead H776 on the earth.

  26 H164 And Ehud H4422 [H8738] escaped H4102 [H8699] while they tarried, H5674 [H8804] and passed beyond H6456 the quarries, H4422 [H8735] and escaped H8167 to Seirath.

  27 H935 [H8800] And it came to pass, when he had come, H8628 [H8799] that he blew H7782 a shofar H2022 in the mountain H669 of Ephraim, H1121 and the sons H3478 of Israel H3381 [H8799] went down H2022 with him from the mount, H6440 and he at the face of them.

  28 H559 [H8799] And he said H7291 H310 [H8798] to them, Follow H3068 me: for the LORD H5414 [H8804] hath given H341 [H8802] your enemies H4124 the Moabites H3027 into your hand. H3381 [H8799] And they went down H310 after H3920 [H8799] him, and took H4569 the fords H3383 of Jordan H4124 toward Moab, H5414 [H8804] and permitted H376 not a man H5674 [H8800] to pass over.

  29 H5221 [H8686] And they slew H4124 of Moab H6256 at that time H6235 about ten H505 thousand H376 men, H8082 all stout, H376 and all men H2428 of valour; H4422 [H8738] and there escaped H376 not a man.

  30 H4124 So Moab H3665 [H8735] was subdued H3117 that day H3027 under the hand H3478 of Israel. H776 And the land H8252 [H8799] had rest H8084 eighty H8141 years.
