Judges 3:9-15
English Standard Version
9 But when the people of Israel (A)cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a (B)deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them, (C)Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 10 (D)The Spirit of the Lord was upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord gave Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. And his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim. 11 (E)So the land had rest forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Ehud
12 (F)And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord strengthened Eglon (G)the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. 13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the (H)Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel. And they took possession of (I)the city of palms. 14 And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Then the people of Israel (J)cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up for them (K)a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, (L)a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
