Judges - ch 3 v 1 - 20

  1. Now these are the nations which Yahweh 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 of it:
  3. namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
  4. They were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
  5. The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
  6. and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
  7. The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
  8. Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
  9. When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
  10. The Spirit of Yahweh came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
  11. The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
  12. The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
  13. He gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
  14. The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
  15. But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
  16. Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
  17. He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
  18. When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
  19. But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to you, king. He said, Keep silence. All who stood by him went out from him.
  20. Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, I have a message from God to you. He arose out of his seat.
