遺留數族以試以色列人

3 耶和華留下這幾族，為要試驗那不曾知道與迦南爭戰之事的以色列人， 2 好叫以色列的後代又知道又學習未曾曉得的戰事。 3 所留下的就是非利士的五個首領和一切迦南人，西頓人，並住黎巴嫩山的希未人（從巴力黑們山直到哈馬口）。 4 留下這幾族，為要試驗以色列人，知道他們肯聽從耶和華藉摩西吩咐他們列祖的誡命不肯。 5 以色列人竟住在迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中間， 6 娶他們的女兒為妻，將自己的女兒嫁給他們的兒子，並侍奉他們的神。

俄陀聶興起為救者

7 以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，忘記耶和華他們的神，去侍奉諸巴力和亞舍拉， 8 所以耶和華的怒氣向以色列人發作，就把他們交在美索不達米亞王古珊利薩田的手中。以色列人服侍古珊利薩田八年。 9 以色列人呼求耶和華的時候，耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者救他們，就是迦勒兄弟基納斯的兒子俄陀聶。 10 耶和華的靈降在他身上，他就做了以色列的士師，出去爭戰。耶和華將美索不達米亞王古珊利薩田交在他手中，他便勝了古珊利薩田。 11 於是國中太平四十年。基納斯的兒子俄陀聶死了。

12 以色列人又行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，耶和華就使摩押王伊磯倫強盛，攻擊以色列人。 13 伊磯倫招聚亞捫人和亞瑪力人，去攻打以色列人，占據棕樹城。 14 於是以色列人服侍摩押王伊磯倫十八年。

以笏興起

15 以色列人呼求耶和華的時候，耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者，就是便雅憫人基拉的兒子以笏。他是左手便利的。以色列人託他送禮物給摩押王伊磯倫。 16 以笏打了一把兩刃的劍，長一肘，帶在右腿上衣服裡面。 17 他將禮物獻給摩押王伊磯倫，原來伊磯倫極其肥胖。 18 以笏獻完禮物，便將抬禮物的人打發走了， 19 自己卻從靠近吉甲鑿石之地回來，說：「王啊，我有一件機密事奏告你。」王說：「迴避吧！」於是左右侍立的人都退去了。 20 以笏來到王面前，王獨自一人坐在涼樓上。以笏說：「我奉神的命報告你一件事。」王就從座位上站起來。 21 以笏便伸左手，從右腿上拔出劍來，刺入王的肚腹， 22 連劍把都刺進去了。劍被肥肉夾住，他沒有從王的肚腹拔出來，且穿通了後身。 23 以笏就出到遊廊，將樓門盡都關鎖。

24 以笏出來之後，王的僕人到了，看見樓門關鎖，就說：「他必是在樓上大解。」 25 他們等煩了，見仍不開樓門，就拿鑰匙開了，不料，他們的主人已死，倒在地上。

26 他們耽延的時候，以笏就逃跑了，經過鑿石之地，逃到西伊拉。 27 到了，就在以法蓮山地吹角。以色列人隨著他下了山地，他在前頭引路， 28 對他們說：「你們隨我來，因為耶和華已經把你們的仇敵摩押人交在你們手中。」於是他們跟著他下去，把守約旦河的渡口，不容摩押一人過去。 29 那時擊殺了摩押人約有一萬，都是強壯的勇士，沒有一人逃脫。 30 這樣，摩押就被以色列人制伏了。國中太平八十年。

珊迦擊敗非利士人

31 以笏之後，有亞拿的兒子珊迦，他用趕牛的棍子打死六百非利士人。他也救了以色列人。

士师记 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

耶和华留下的民族

3 这些国的人是耶和华留下的，为要借着他们来试验以色列人，就是所有没有经验过迦南任何战争的人； 2 好使以色列人的后代，那些以前没有经验过这些战争的人，知道学习争战。 3 他留下的就是非利士人的五个首领，和所有迦南人、西顿人，以及住在黎巴嫩山上的希未人，从巴力．黑门山直到哈马口。 4 他们留在那里，为要借着他们试验以色列人，要知道他们是否听从耶和华藉摩西吩咐他们列祖的诫命。 5 以色列人就住在迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中间； 6 他们娶他们的女儿作妻子，也把自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，并且事奉他们的神。

俄陀聂

7 以色列人行了耶和华看为恶的事，忘记了耶和华他们的　神，去事奉众巴力和亚舍拉。 8 因此，耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作，把他们完全交在两河之间的亚兰王古珊．利萨田的手中；以色列人服事了古珊．利萨田八年。 9 以色列人向耶和华哀求的时候，耶和华就为以色列人兴起一位拯救者拯救他们，就是迦勒的弟弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂。 10 耶和华的灵临到他身上，他就治理以色列人；他出去作战，耶和华把亚兰王古珊．利萨田交在他手中，他的能力就胜过了古珊．利萨田。 11 于是国中太平了四十年。后来基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂死了。

以笏

12 以色列人又行了耶和华看为恶的事，耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛起来，欺压以色列人，因为他们行了耶和华看为恶的事。 13 伊矶伦集合了亚扪人和亚玛力人，前来击败了以色列人，占领了棕树城。 14 于是以色列人服事了摩押王伊矶伦十八年。

15 以色列人向耶和华哀求的时候，耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者，就是便雅悯人基拉的儿子以笏，是一个用左手的人。以色列人派他把贡物送给摩押王伊矶伦。 16 以笏做了一把两刃的剑，长半公尺，缚在右腿上，在衣服底下。 17 他把贡物呈献给摩押王伊矶伦；伊矶伦原是个非常肥胖的人。 18 以笏献完了贡物，就把抬贡物的众人打发走了。 19 自己却从靠近吉甲的众雕像那里回来，说：“王啊，我有一件机密的事要对你说。”王说：“暂不要说。”侍立左右的人都离开他出去了。 20 以笏来到王那里；王独自一人坐在凉楼上。以笏说：“我有　神的话要告诉你。”王就从座位上站起来。 21 以笏就伸出左手，从右腿上拔出剑来，刺入王的腹中； 22 连剑柄与剑身都刺进去了，肥肉把剑身夹住，因此他没有把剑从王的肚腹里拔出来；接着他就从窗户爬了出去。 23 以笏出到走廊，把凉楼上的门关起来，上了锁。

24 以笏出来以后，王的仆人才来到；他们看见凉楼上的门锁着，就说：“王一定是在凉楼上大解。” 25 他们等到发慌了，见他还不打开凉楼的门，就拿钥匙来开；不料，看见他们的主人早已倒在地上死了。

26 他们耽延的时候，以笏已经逃跑了；他经过众雕像那里，逃到西伊拉去。 27 他去到以后，就在以法莲山地吹角；以色列人与他一同从山地上下来，他走在他们前头， 28 对他们说：“你们跟随我，因为耶和华已经把你们的仇敌摩押人交在你们手中。”他们就跟随他下去，攻取约旦河的渡口，拦截摩押人，不让一个过去。 29 那时他们击杀了约有一万摩押人，都是强壮的、勇猛的人，没有一人逃脱。 30 这样，从那天起，摩押就在以色列人的手下被制伏了，于是国中太平了八十年。

珊迦

31 以笏之后，有亚拿的儿子珊迦；他用赶牛棒击杀了六百非利士人；他也拯救了以色列人。

Judges 3
Expanded Bible

3 These are the nations the Lord did not force to leave. He wanted to test the Israelites who had not ·fought in [experienced; known] the wars of Canaan. 2 (The only reason the Lord left those nations in the land was to teach the descendants of the Israelites who had not fought in those wars how to fight.) 3 These are the nations: the five ·rulers [lords] of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the people of Sidon, and the Hivites who lived in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath. 4 Those nations were in the land to test the Israelites—to see if they would obey the commands the Lord had given to their ancestors by [L the hand of] Moses.

5 The people of Israel lived with the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. 6 The Israelites ·began to marry [L took as wives] the daughters of those people, and they ·allowed their daughters to marry [L gave their daughters to] the sons of those people. Israel also served their gods.

Othniel, the First Judge

7 The ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel] did ·what the Lord said was wrong [L evil in the eyes/sight of the Lord]. They forgot about the Lord their God and served the ·idols of Baal [L Baals; 2:11] and ·Asherah [L Asherahs; C sacred trees or poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah; Deut. 16:21; Judg. 6:25]. 8 So the Lord ·was angry with [L burned in anger against] Israel and allowed ·Cushan-Rishathaim [or Cushan, the Doubly Wicked] king of ·northwest Mesopotamia [or Aram Naharaim; C Naharaim means “two rivers,” referring to Mesopotamia] to rule over the ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel] for eight years. 9 When Israel cried to the Lord, the Lord ·sent someone to save them [L raised up a deliverer]. Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, saved the Israelites. 10 The Spirit of the Lord ·entered [enpowered; came upon; was upon] Othniel, and he became Israel’s ·judge [leader; 2:16]. When he went to war, the Lord ·handed over to him [L gave into his hand] ·Cushan-Rishathaim [or Cushan, the Doubly Wicked; v. 8] king of ·northwest Mesopotamia [or Aram Naharaim; v. 8]. 11 So the land was at ·peace [rest] for forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.

Ehud, the Judge

12 Again the ·people [L sons/T children] of Israel did ·what the Lord said was wrong [L evil in the eyes/sight of the Lord]. So the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab power to defeat Israel because of the evil Israel did. 13 Eglon got the ·Ammonites and the Amalekites [L sons/descendants of Ammon and Amalek] to join him. Then he attacked Israel and took the city of palm trees [C Jericho]. 14 So the ·people [L sons; T children] of Israel were ·ruled by [subject to] Eglon king of Moab for eighteen years.

15 When the people cried to the Lord, he ·sent someone to save [L raised up a rescuer/T deliverer for] them. He was Ehud, son of Gera from the people of Benjamin, who was ·left-handed [L bound in the right hand]. Israel sent Ehud to give Eglon king of Moab the ·payment [tribute money] he demanded. 16 Ehud made himself a sword with two edges, ·about eighteen inches [L a cubit; C the distance between the elbow and the tip of the fingers] long, and he tied it to his right hip under his clothes. 17 Ehud gave Eglon king of Moab the ·payment [tribute money] he demanded. Now Eglon was a very fat man [C Eglon means “fat calf”]. 18 After he had given Eglon the ·payment [tribute money], Ehud ·sent away [dismissed] the people who had carried it. 19 When he passed the ·statues [images; idols] near Gilgal, he turned around [C Ehud returned to Eglon’s palace and sought a private audience with the king] and said to Eglon, “I have a secret message for you, King Eglon.”

The king said, “·Be quiet [Silence; or Give us privacy]!” Then he sent all of his servants out of the room. 20 Ehud went to King Eglon, as he was sitting alone in the ·room above his summer palace [L cool upper room; C probably a breezy roof-top room with lattice windows; perhaps a bathroom].

Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king stood up from his chair [C perhaps an act of reverence to receive the divine oracle], 21 Ehud reached with his left hand and took out the sword that was tied to his right hip [C the unusual location on the right allowed concealment and caught the king by surprise]. Then he stabbed the sword deep into the king’s belly! 22 Even the handle sank in, and ·the blade came out his back [or his bowels discharged]. The king’s fat covered the whole sword, so Ehud left the sword in Eglon. 23 Then he went out ·of the room [or to the porch/vestibule; or through the latrine] and closed and locked the doors behind him.

24 When the servants returned just after Ehud left, they found the doors to the room locked. So they thought the king was ·relieving himself [L covering his feet; C a euphemism]. 25 They waited for a long time. Finally they became ·worried [anxious; or embarrassed] because he still had not opened the doors. So they got the key and unlocked them and ·saw [L look; T behold] their king lying dead on the floor!

26 While the servants were waiting, Ehud had escaped. He passed by the ·statues [idols; images] and went to Seirah. 27 When he reached the ·mountains [hill country] of Ephraim he blew the trumpet. The ·people [L sons; T children] of Israel heard it and went down from the hills with Ehud leading them.

28 He said to them, “Follow me! The Lord has ·helped you to defeat [L given into your hand] your enemies, the Moabites.” So Israel followed Ehud and captured the ·crossings [fords] of the Jordan River ·across from [or against] Moab. They did not allow the Moabites to cross the Jordan River. 29 Israel killed about ten thousand strong and able men from Moab; not one escaped. 30 So that day Moab was ·forced to be under the rule of Israel [L subdued/made subject that day under the hand of Israel], and there was ·peace [rest] in the land for eighty years.

Shamgar, the Judge

31 After Ehud, Shamgar son of Anath saved Israel. Shamgar killed six hundred Philistines with ·a sharp stick used to guide oxen [an oxgoad].

Judges 3
King James Version

3 Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.

11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.

13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.

30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.

Judges 3
New International Version

3 These are the nations the Lord left to test(A) all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan 2 (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience): 3 the five(B) rulers of the Philistines,(C) all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites(D) living in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon(E) to Lebo Hamath.(F) 4 They were left to test(G) the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord’s commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses.

5 The Israelites lived(H) among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,(I) Hivites and Jebusites.(J) 6 They took their daughters(K) in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.(L)

Othniel

7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord(M) their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.(N) 8 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold(O) them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim(P) king of Aram Naharaim,[a](Q) to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. 9 But when they cried out(R) to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer,(S) Othniel(T) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him,(U) so that he became Israel’s judge[b] and went to war. The Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim(V) king of Aram(W) into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 11 So the land had peace(X) for forty years,(Y) until Othniel son of Kenaz(Z) died.

Ehud

12 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(AA) and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab(AB) power over Israel. 13 Getting the Ammonites(AC) and Amalekites(AD) to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.[c](AE) 14 The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab(AF) for eighteen years.

15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer(AG)—Ehud(AH), a left-handed(AI) man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute(AJ) to Eglon king of Moab. 16 Now Ehud(AK) had made a double-edged sword about a cubit[d] long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. 17 He presented the tribute(AL) to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man.(AM) 18 After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it. 19 But on reaching the stone images near Gilgal he himself went back to Eglon and said, “Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.”

The king said to his attendants, “Leave us!” And they all left.

20 Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace[e](AN) and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose(AO) from his seat, 21 Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword(AP) from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22 Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. 23 Then Ehud went out to the porch[f]; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

24 After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, “He must be relieving himself(AQ) in the inner room of the palace.” 25 They waited to the point of embarrassment,(AR) but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead.

26 While they waited, Ehud got away. He passed by the stone images and escaped to Seirah. 27 When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet(AS) in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them.

28 “Follow me,” he ordered, “for the Lord has given Moab,(AT) your enemy, into your hands.(AU)” So they followed him down and took possession of the fords of the Jordan(AV) that led to Moab; they allowed no one to cross over. 29 At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. 30 That day Moab(AW) was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace(AX) for eighty years.

Shamgar

31 After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath,(AY) who struck down six hundred(AZ) Philistines(BA) with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.
