@ 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
K@;
strkjv@Judges:3:2
@ Only
that
the
generations
of the
children
of
Israel
might
know
, to
teach
them
war
, at the least such as
before
knew
nothing thereof;
strkjv@Judges:3:3
@ Namely,
five
lords
of the
Philistines
, and all the
Canaanites
K@, and the
Sidonians
, and the
Hivites
that
dwelt
in
mount
Lebanon
, from
mount
Baalhermon
alunto the entering
in
of
Hamath
.
strkjv@Judges:3:4
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:5
@ And the

of
Israel
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites
K@,
Hittites

Amorites

Perizzites

Hivites
, and
Jebusites
:
strkjv@Judges:3:6
@ And they
took
their
daughters
to be their
wives

gave
their
daughters
to their
sons
, and
served
their
gods
.
strkjv@Judges:3:7
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:8
@ Therefore the
anger
of the
LORD
was
hot
against
Israel
, and he
sold
them into the
hand
of
Chushanrishathaim
Kuwshanking
of
Mesopotamia
Aram: and the
children
of
Israel
served
Chushanrishathaim
Kuwshaneight
years
.
strkjv@Judges:3:9
@ And when the
children

Israel
cried
unto the
LORD
, the
LORD
raised
up
a
deliverer
to the

Israel
, who
delivered
them, even
Othniel

son
of
Kenaz
,
Calebs
younger
brother

strkjv@Judges:3:10
@ And the
Spirit
of the
LORD
came upon him, and he
judged
Israel

out
to
war

delivered
Chushanrishathaim
Kuwshanking

hand
prevailed
against

@ And the
land
had
rest
forty
years

Othniel

died

strkjv@Judges:3:12
@ And the
children
of
Israel
did
evil
again
in the
sight

LORD

LORD
strengthened
Eglon
the
king
of
Moab
against
Israel
, because they had
done
evil
in the
sight
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@Judges:3:13
@ And he
gathered
unto him the
children

Ammon

Amalek
, and
went
and
smote
Israel

possessed
the
city
of palm
trees
Iyr hat-T@.
strkjv@Judges:3:14
@ So the
children

served
Eglon
the

eighteen

years

strkjv@Judges:3:15
@ But when the
children
of
Israel
cried
unto the

, the

raised them
up
a
deliverer
,
Ehud
the
son
of
Gera
, a
Benjamite
Ben-y@, a
man
lefthanded
H3225: and by
him
the
children
of
Israel
sent
a
present
unto
Eglon
the
king
of
Moab
.
strkjv@Judges:3:16
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:17
@ And he
brought
the
present
unto
Eglon
king
of
Moab
: and
Eglon
was a
very
fat
man
.
strkjv@Judges:3:18
@ And when he had made an
end
to
offer
the
present
, he sent
away
the
people
that
bare
the
present
.
strkjv@Judges:3:19
@ 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.
strkjv@Judges:3:20
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:21
@ And
Ehud
put
forth
his
left
hand
, and
took
the
dagger
from his
right
thigh
, and
thrust
it into his
belly
:
strkjv@Judges:3:22
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:23
@ Then
Ehud
went
forth
through the
porch
, and
shut
the
doors
of the
parlour
upon him, and
locked
them.
strkjv@Judges:3:24
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:25
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:26
@ And
Ehud
escaped
while they
tarried
, and passed
beyond
the
quarries
, and
escaped
unto
Seirath
S@.
strkjv@Judges:3:27
@ 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.
strkjv@Judges:3:28
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:29
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:3:30
@ So
Moab
was
subdued
that
day
under the
hand
of
Israel
. And the
land
had
rest
fourscore
years
.
strkjv@Judges:3:31
@ 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
