Judges 3:7-11
Lexham English Bible

Othniel

7 The Israelites[a] did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. They forgot Yahweh their God, and they served the Baals and the Asheroth.[b] 8 And the anger of Yahweh was kindled[c] against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim, the king of Aram Naharaim; and the Israelites[d] served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years. 9 The Israelites[e] cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up a deliverer for the Israelites[f] who delivered them, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. 10 And the spirit of Yahweh came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and Yahweh gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and he prevailed over[g] Cushan-Rishathaim. 11 So the land rested forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.

9 But the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up a deliverer for the sons of Israel to set them free, (D)Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. 10 And (E)the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. When he went to war, the Lord handed over to him Cushan-rishathaim king of [c]Mesopotamia, so that [d]he prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim. 11 Then the land was at rest for forty years.
