Judges 3:8-30

English Standard Version

⁸Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, ^(A)and he sold them into the hand of ^(B)Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia. And the people of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. ⁹But when the people of Israel ^(C)cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a ^(D)deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them, ^(E)Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. ¹⁰^(F)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^(G)So the land had rest forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Ehud

¹²^(H)And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord strengthened Eglon ^(I)the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. ¹³He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the ^(J)Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel. And they took possession of ^(K)the city of palms. ¹⁴And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

¹⁵Then the people of Israel ^(L)cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up for them ^(M)a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, ^(N)a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. ¹⁶And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit^[a] in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his clothes. ¹⁷And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. ¹⁸And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. ¹⁹But he himself turned back ^(O)at the idols near Gilgal and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he commanded, “Silence.” And all his attendants went out from his presence. ²⁰And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his ^(P)cool roof chamber. ^(Q)And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And he arose from his seat. ²¹And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. ²²And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. ²³Then Ehud went out into the porch^[b] and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him ^(R)and locked them.

²⁴When he had gone, the servants came, and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, ^(S)“Surely he is relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber.” ²⁵And they waited till they were embarrassed. But when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them, and there lay their lord dead on the floor.

²⁶Ehud escaped while they delayed, and he passed beyond ^(T)the idols and escaped to Seirah. ²⁷When he arrived, ^(U)he sounded the trumpet in ^(V)the hill country of Ephraim. Then the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was their leader. ²⁸And he said to them, “Follow after me, ^(W)for the Lord has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they went down after him and seized ^(X)the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites and did not allow anyone to pass over. ²⁹And they killed at that time about 10,000 of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; not a man escaped. ³⁰So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. ^(Y)And the land had rest for eighty years.

⁸The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold^(A) them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim^(B) king of Aram Naharaim,^[a]^(C) to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. ⁹But when they cried out^(D) to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer,^(E) Othniel^(F) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. ¹⁰The Spirit of the Lord came on him,^(G) so that he became Israel’s judge^[b] and went to war. The Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim^(H) king of Aram^(I) into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. ¹¹So the land had peace^(J) for forty years,^(K) until Othniel son of Kenaz^(L) died.

Ehud

¹²Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord,^(M) and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab^(N) power over Israel. ¹³Getting the Ammonites^(O) and Amalekites^(P) to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.^[c]^(Q) ¹⁴The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab^(R) for eighteen years.

¹⁵Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer^(S)—Ehud^(T), a left-handed^(U) man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute^(V) to Eglon king of Moab. ¹⁶Now Ehud^(W) had made a double-edged sword about a cubit^[d] long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. ¹⁷He presented the tribute^(X) to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man.^(Y) ¹⁸After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it. ¹⁹But 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.

²⁰Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace^[e]^(Z) and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose^(AA) from his seat, ²¹Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword^(AB) from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. ²²Even 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. ²³Then Ehud went out to the porch^[f]; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

²⁴After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, “He must be relieving himself^(AC) in the inner room of the palace.” ²⁵They waited to the point of embarrassment,^(AD) 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.

²⁶While they waited, Ehud got away. He passed by the stone images and escaped to Seirah. ²⁷When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet^(AE) 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,^(AF) your enemy, into your hands.^(AG)” So they followed him down and took possession of the fords of the Jordan^(AH) that led to Moab; they allowed no one to cross over. ²⁹At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. ³⁰That day Moab^(AI) was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace^(AJ) for eighty years.
