*
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 .
*
Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel ,
and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia :
and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years .
*
And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD ,
the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel ,
who delivered them ,
even Othniel the son of Kenaz ,
Caleb '
s younger brother .
*
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him ,
and he judged Israel ,
and went out to war :
and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand ;
and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim .
*
And the land had rest forty years .
And Othniel the son of Kenaz died .
*
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD :
and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel ,
because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD .
*
And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek ,
and went and smote Israel ,
and possessed the city of palm trees .
*
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years .
*
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD ,
the LORD raised them up a deliverer ,
Ehud the son of Gera ,
a Benjamite ,
a man lefthanded :
and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab .
*
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 .
