9
And when the sons of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the sons of Israel, who saved them,
even Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10
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.
11
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, died.
12
And the sons 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.
13
And he gathered unto him the sons of Ammon and of Amalek and went and smote Israel and took the city of palm trees.
14
So the sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15
But when the sons of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, a son of Jemini, {Benjamin} a man, who had his right hand impeded, and by him the sons of Israel sent a present unto Eglon, the king of Moab.
16
But Ehud had made himself a two-edged sword of a cubit length, and he girded it under his clothing upon his right thigh.
17
And he brought the present unto Eglon, king of Moab, and Eglon
was a very fat man.
18
And when he had offered the present, he sent away the people that had brought the present.
19
But he, himself turned again from the graven images that
were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word for thee, O king, who then said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
