Now these are the nationsH1471 which the LORDH3068 leftH3240, to proveH5254 IsraelH3478 by them, even as many of Israel as had not knownH3045 all the warsH4421 of CanaanH3667;
Only thatH7535 the generationsH1755 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 might knowH3045, to teachH3925 them warH4421, at the least such as beforeH6440 knewH3045 nothing thereof;
Namely, fiveH2568 lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, and all the CanaanitesH3669, and the SidoniansH6722, and the HivitesH2340 that dweltH3427 in mountH2022 LebanonH3844, from mountH2022 BaalhermonH1179 unto the entering inH935 of HamathH2574.
And they were to proveH5254 IsraelH3478 by them, to knowH3045 whether they would hearkenH8085 unto the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, which he commandedH6680 their fathersH1 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 amongH7130 the CanaanitesH3669, HittitesH2850, and AmoritesH567, and PerizzitesH6522, and HivitesH2340, and JebusitesH2983:
And they tookH3947 their daughtersH1323 to be their wivesH802, and gaveH5414 their daughtersH1323 to their sonsH1121, and servedH5647 their godsH430.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and forgatH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and servedH5647 BaalimH1168 and the grovesH842.
Therefore the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was hotH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he soldH4376 them into the handH3027 of ChushanrishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of MesopotamiaH763: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 servedH5647 ChushanrishathaimH3573 eightH8083 yearsH8141. {Mesopotamia: Heb. Aramnaharaim}
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 raised upH6965 a delivererH3467 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, who deliveredH3467 them, even OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, Caleb'sH3612 youngerH6996 brotherH251. {deliverer: Heb. saviour}
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 came upon him, and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478, and went outH3318 to warH4421: and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 ChushanrishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of MesopotamiaH763 into his handH3027; and his handH3027 prevailedH5810 against ChushanrishathaimH3573. {came: Heb. was} {Mesopotamia: Heb. Aram}
And the landH776 had restH8252 fortyH705 yearsH8141. And OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073 diedH4191.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 againH3254 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 strengthenedH2388 EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 against IsraelH3478, because they had doneH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And he gatheredH622 unto him the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and AmalekH6002, and wentH3212 and smoteH5221 IsraelH3478, and possessedH3423 the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558+H5899.
So the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 servedH5647 EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 eighteenH8083+H6240 yearsH8141.
But when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 raised them upH6965 a delivererH3467, EhudH164 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145, a manH376 lefthandedH334+H3225: and by himH3027 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 a presentH4503 unto EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124. {a Benjamite: or, the son of Jemini} {lefthanded: Heb. shut of his right hand}
But EhudH164 madeH6213 him a daggerH2719 which had twoH8147 edgesH6366, of a cubitH1574 lengthH753; and he did girdH2296 it under his raimentH4055 upon his rightH3225 thighH3409.
And he broughtH7126 the presentH4503 unto EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376.
And when he had made an endH3615 to offerH7126 the presentH4503, he sent awayH7971 the peopleH5971 that bareH5375 the presentH4503.
But he himself turned againH7725 from the quarriesH6456 that were by GilgalH1537, and saidH559, I have a secretH5643 errandH1697 unto thee, O kingH4428: who saidH559, Keep silenceH2013. And all that stoodH5975 by him went outH3318 from him. {quarries: or, graven images}
And EhudH164 cameH935 unto him; and he was sittingH3427 in a summerH4747 parlourH5944, which he had for himself alone. And EhudH164 saidH559, I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 unto thee. And he aroseH6965 out of his seatH3678. {a summer…: Heb. a parlour of cooling}
And EhudH164 put forthH7971 his leftH8040 handH3027, and tookH3947 the daggerH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409, and thrustH8628 it into his bellyH990:
And the haftH5325 also went inH935 afterH310 the bladeH3851; and the fatH2459 closedH5462 uponH1157 the bladeH3851, so that he could not drawH8025 the daggerH2719 out of his bellyH990; and the dirtH6574 came outH3318. {the dirt…: or, it came out at the buttocks}
Then EhudH164 went forthH3318 through the porchH4528, and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944 upon him, and lockedH5274 them.
When he was gone outH3318, his servantsH5650 cameH935; and when they sawH7200 that, behold, the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944 were lockedH5274, they saidH559, Surely he coverethH5526 his feetH7272 in his summerH4747 chamberH2315. {covereth…: or, doeth his easement}
And they tarriedH2342 till they were ashamedH954: and, behold, he openedH6605 not the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944; therefore they tookH3947 a keyH4668, and openedH6605 them: and, behold, their lordH113 was fallen downH5307 deadH4191 on the earthH776.
And EhudH164 escapedH4422 while they tarriedH4102, and passed beyondH5674 the quarriesH6456, and escapedH4422 unto SeirathH8167.
And it came to pass, when he was comeH935, that he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782 in the mountainH2022 of EphraimH669, and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went downH3381 with him from the mountH2022, and he beforeH6440 them.
And he saidH559 unto them, FollowH7291 afterH310 me: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 your enemiesH341 the MoabitesH4124 into your handH3027. And they went downH3381 afterH310 him, and tookH3920 the fordsH4569 of JordanH3383 toward MoabH4124, and sufferedH5414 not a manH376 to pass overH5674.
And they slewH5221 of MoabH4124 at that timeH6256 about tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376, all lustyH8082, and all menH376 of valourH2428; and there escapedH4422 not a manH376. {lusty: Heb. fat}
So MoabH4124 was subduedH3665 that dayH3117 under the handH3027 of IsraelH3478. And the landH776 had restH8252 fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141.
And afterH310 him was ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, which slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 with an oxH1241 goadH4451: and he also deliveredH3467 IsraelH3478.
