1
Now these
are the nations
which
the LORD
left,
to test
Israel
by them (that is, all
who
had not experienced
any
of the wars
of Canaan;
2
only
in order
that the generations
of the sons
of Israel
might be taught
war,
those
who
had not experienced
it formerly).
3
These nations are: the five
lords
of the Philistines
and all
the Canaanites
and the Sidonians
and the Hivites
who lived
in Mount
Lebanon,
from Mount
Baal-hermon
as far
as Lebo-hamath.
4
They were for testing
Israel,
to find
out if they would obey
the commandments
of the LORD,
which
He had commanded
their fathers
through
Moses.
5
The sons
of Israel
lived
among
the Canaanites,
the Hittites,
the Amorites,
the Perizzites,
the Hivites,
and the Jebusites;
6
and they took
their daughters
for themselves as wives,
and gave
their own daughters
to their sons,
and served
their gods.
7
The sons
of Israel
did
what was evil
in the sight
of
the LORD
,
and forgot
the LORD
their God
and served
the Baals
and the Asheroth.
8
Then the anger
of the LORD
was kindled
against Israel,
so that He sold
them into the hands
of
Cushan-rishathaim
king
of Mesopotamia;
and the sons
of Israel
served
Cushan-rishathaim
eight
years.
9
When
the son
s
of Israel
cried
to
the LORD
,
the LORD
raised
up a deliverer
for
the son
s
of Israel
to deliver
them, Othniel
the son
of Kenaz,
Caleb's
younger
brother.
10
The Spirit
of
the LORD
came
upon him, and he judged
Israel.
When he went
out to war,
the LORD
gave
Cushan-rishathaim
king
of Mesopotamia
into his hand,
so that he prevailed
over
Cushan-rishathaim
.
11
Then the land
had rest
forty
years.
And Othniel
the son
of Kenaz
died.
12
Now the sons
of Israel
again
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD.
So the LORD
strengthened
Eglon
the king
of Moab
again
st
Israel,
because
they had done
evil
in the sight
of the LORD.
13
And he gathered
to himself the sons
of Ammon
and Amalek;
and he went
and defeated
Israel,
and they possessed
the city
of the palm trees.
14
The sons
of Israel
served
Eglon
the king
of Moab
eighteen
years.
15
But when
the son
s
of Israel
cried
to
the LORD
,
the LORD
raised
up a deliverer
for them, Ehud
the son
of Gera,
the Benjamite,
a left-handed
man.
And
the son
s
of Israel
sent
tribute
by him to Eglon
the king
of Moab.
16
Ehud
made
himself a sword
which had two
edges,
a cubit
in length,
and he bound
it on his right
thigh
under
his cloak.
17
He presented
the tribute
to Eglon
king
of Moab.
Now Eglon
was a very
fat
man.
18
It came
about when
he had finished
presenting
the tribute,
that he sent away
the people
who had carried
the tribute.
19
But he himself
turned back
from the idols
which
were at Gilgal,
and said,
"I have a secret
message
for you, O king."
And he said,
"Keep silence."
And all
who attended
him left
him.
20
Ehud
came
to him while he was sitting
alone
in his cool
roof chamber.
And
Ehud
said,
"I have a message
from God
for you." And he arose
from his seat.
21
Ehud
stretched
out his left hand,
took
the sword
from his right
thigh
and thrust
it into his belly.
22
The handle
also
went
in after
the blade,
and the fat
closed
over
the blade,
for he did not draw
the sword
out of his belly;
and the refuse
came
out.
23
Then Ehud
went
out into the vestibule
and shut
the doors
of the roof chamber
behind
him, and locked
them.
24
When he had gone
out, his servants
came
and looked,
and behold,
the doors
of the roof chamber
were locked;
and they said,
"He is only
relieving
himself in the cool
room."
25
They waited
until
they became anxious;
but behold,
he did not open
the doors
of the roof chamber.
Therefore they took
the key
and opened
them, and behold,
their master
had fallen
to the floor
dead.
26
Now Ehud
escaped
while
they were delaying,
and he passed
by the idols
and
escaped
to Seirah.
27
It came
about when he had arrived,
that he blew
the trumpet
in the hill
country
of Ephraim;
and the sons
of Israel
went down
with him from the hill
country
,
and he was in front
of them.
28
He said
to them, "Pursue
them, for the LORD
has given
your enemies
the Moabites
into your hands."
So they went down
after
him and seized
the fords
of the Jordan
opposite Moab,
and did not allow
anyone
to cross.
29
They struck down
at that time
about ten
thousand
Moabites,
all
robust
and valiant
men;
and no
one
escaped.
30
So Moab
was subdued
that day
under
the hand
of Israel.
And the land
was undisturbed
for eighty
years.
31
After
him came
Shamgar
the son
of Anath,
who struck down
six
hundred
Philistines
with an oxgoad;
and he also
saved
Israel.
