King James Version
And
these `
are '
the nations which Jehovah
left, to try
Israel by them, all
who
have
not known all the wars of Canaan;
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;
(
only for
the
sake
of
the generations of the sons
of Israel's
knowing
, to teach them war, only
those
who
formerly
have
not
known
them)
--
Only that
the generations of the children
of Israel
might
know
, to teach them war, at
the
least
such
as
before
knew
nothing
thereof;
five princes
of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite
, and the Zidonian
, and the Hivite
inhabiting
mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-Hermon
unto the entering in of Hamath ;
Namely,
five lords
of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites
, and the Sidonians
, and the Hivites
that
dwelt
in
mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon
unto the entering in of Hamath .
and they are
to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey
the commands
of Jehovah
that
He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
And they were
to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would
hearken
unto
the commandments
of the
LORD,

of Israel have
dwelt in
the
midst
of
the Canaanite
, the
Hittite
, and the
Amorite
, and the
Perizzite
, and the
Hivite
, and the
Jebusite,
And the children
of Israel dwelt among
the Canaanites
, Hittites
, and Amorites

and take
their daughters to them
for
wives, and their daughters have
given
to their sons, and they
serve
their gods ;
And they
took
their daughters to be
their
wives, and gave
their daughters to their sons, and served
their gods .

Jehovah
their God, and serve
the
Baalim and the shrines
.
And the children
of Israel did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
, and forgat
the
LORD
their God, and served

And
the anger of Jehovah
burneth
against Israel, and He selleth
them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim
king of Aram-Naharaim,

eight years ;
Therefore
the anger of the
LORD
was
hot
against Israel, and he sold
them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim
king of Mesopotamia:

of Israel cry
unto Jehovah
, and

raiseth
a saviour
to the sons
of Israel, and
he
saveth
them --
Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother ;
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 Jehovah
is
upon him, and he judgeth
Israel, and goeth
out to battle,
and Jehovah
giveth
unto
his
hand
Chushan-Rishathaim
king of Aram,
and strong
is
his hand against Chushan-Rishathaim;
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;

against Chushanrishathaim.
and the land resteth
forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dieth,

they have
done the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah;

of Israel did
evil again
in the sight
of the
LORD:

And
the sons
of Israel cry
unto Jehovah
, and
Jehovah
raiseth
to
them a saviour
, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (
a man --
shut
of
his
right
hand),
and the sons
of Israel send
by
his
hand
a present to
Eglon king of Moab ;
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 .
and
Ehud maketh
for
himself
a sword,
and
it
hath
two mouths
(
a cubit `is'
its
length ),
and he girdeth
it under his long
robe
on
his right thigh ;
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 .
and he bringeth
near
the present to
Eglon king of Moab ,
and Eglon `is'
a very fat man.
And he brought
the present unto
Eglon king of Moab :
and Eglon was
a very fat man.
And it
cometh
to
pass,
when he hath
finished
to bring
near
the present, that
he sendeth
away the people bearing
the present ,
And when he had
made
an
end
to offer
the present, he sent
away the people that
bare
the present .
and
he himself hath
turned back
from the graven
images
which
`are'
at
Gilgal, and saith
, `A
secret
word
I have unto thee, O king ;'
and
he
saith
, `Hush!'
and go
out
from
him
do
all those
standing
by him.
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
.
And Ehud hath
come
unto him ,
and he is
sitting in the
upper
chamber
of
the
wall
which he hath
for himself ,
and Ehud saith
, `A
word
of
God
I have unto thee ;'
and he riseth
from
off
the
throne;
And Ehud came
unto him ;
and he was
sitting in a
summer
parlor,
which he had
for himself alone.
And Ehud said
, I have a
message
from
God
unto thee .
And he arose
out
of
his
seat.
and Ehud putteth
forth his left hand, and taketh
the sword
from off
his right thigh, and striketh
it into his belly ;
And Ehud put
forth his left hand, and took
the dagger
from his right thigh, and thrust
it into his belly :
and the haft also goeth
in after the blade ,
and the fat shutteth
on
the blade, that he hath
not drawn
the sword
out of his belly ,
and it
goeth
out
at
the fundament
.
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
.
And
Ehud goeth
out
at
the porch, and shutteth
the doors of the upper
chamber
upon him, and hath
bolted
`it';
Then
Ehud went
forth
through
the porch, and shut
the doors of the parlor
upon him, and locked
them.
and
he hath
gone out, and
his servants have
come
in,
and look
, and
lo
, the doors of the upper
chamber
are
bolted
, and
they say
, `
He is
only
covering
his feet in the
inner
chamber of
the
wall
. '
When
he was
gone out, his servants came;
and when
they
saw
that
, behold
, the doors of the parlor
were
locked
, they said
, Surely
he covereth
his feet in his
summer
chamber.
And they stay
till confounded,
and lo
, he is
not opening
the doors of the upper
chamber,
and
they take
the
key, and open,
and lo
, their lord is
fallen to
the earth --
dead
.
And they tarried
till they
were
ashamed:
and, behold,
he opened
not the doors of the parlor;
therefore
they took
a
key, and opened
them:
and, behold,
their lord was
fallen down
dead
on
the earth.
And Ehud escaped during
their
tarrying
, and hath
passed by
the images
, and is
escaped to
Seirath.
And Ehud escaped while
they
tarried
, and passed beyond
the quarries
, and escaped unto
Seirath.
And it cometh
to pass, in
his
coming
in
, that he bloweth
with
a trumpet in the hill-country
of Ephraim, and go
down
with
him
do
the sons
of Israel from the hill-country
, and he before them ;
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 .
and he saith
unto them, `Pursue
after me ,
for Jehovah
hath given
your enemies ,
the Moabites ,
into your hand ;'
and they go
down after him, and capture
the passages
of the
Jordan towards
Moab, and have
not permitted
a man to pass over.
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.
And they smite
Moab at that time ,
about ten thousand men, all robust
, and every
one
a
man
of valour,
and not a man hath
escaped,
And they slew
of
Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty
, and all
men
of valor;
and there
escaped
not a man .
and
Moab is
humbled
in
that day under the hand of Israel ;
and the land resteth
eighty
years.
So
Moab was
subdued
that day under the hand of Israel .
And the land had
rest
fourscore
years.
And after him hath
been
Shamgar son of Anath, and
he
smiteth
the Philistines --
six hundred men --
with an ox -
goad ,
and he saveth
--
he
also --
Israel.
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.
