Judges 3




updv@Judges:3:1 @ 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;

updv@Judges:3:2 @ only that the generations of the sons of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as formerly knew nothing of it:

updv@Judges:3:3 @ [namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.

updv@Judges:3:4 @ And 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.

updv@Judges:3:5 @ And the sons of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

updv@Judges:3:6 @ and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.

updv@Judges:3:7 @ And the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.

updv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the sons of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

updv@Judges:3:9 @ And when the sons of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the sons of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

updv@Judges:3:10 @ And the Spirit of Yahweh came upon 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.

updv@Judges:3:11 @ And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

updv@Judges:3:12 @ And the sons 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.

updv@Judges:3:13 @ And he gathered to him the sons of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.

updv@Judges:3:14 @ And the sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

updv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the sons of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the sons of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.

updv@Judges:3:16 @ And Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his raiment on his right thigh.

updv@Judges:3:17 @ And he offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.

updv@Judges:3:18 @ And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.

updv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret message to you, O king. And he said, Keep silent. And all who stood by him went out from him.

updv@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to you. And he arose out of his seat.

updv@Judges:3:21 @ And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:

updv@Judges:3:22 @ and the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.

updv@Judges:3:23 @ Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.

updv@Judges:3:24 @ Now when he had gone out, his slaves came; and they saw, and noticed that the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is relieving himself in the upper chamber.

updv@Judges:3:25 @ And they tarried until they were ashamed; and saw that he didn't open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened [them], and saw that their lord had fallen down dead on the earth.

updv@Judges:3:26 @ And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.

updv@Judges:3:27 @ And it came to pass, when he came, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he [was] before them.

updv@Judges:3:28 @ And he said to them, Follow after me; for Yahweh has delivered your(note:){+}(:note) enemies the Moabites into your{+} hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn't allow a man to pass over.

updv@Judges:3:29 @ And they struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every robust man, and every man of valor; and not a man escaped.

updv@Judges:3:30 @ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest 80 years.

updv@Judges:3:31 @ And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel.
