Judges 3:7-11

7So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; they forgotH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430 and servedH5647 the BaalsH1168 and the AsherahsH842. 8Then the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 burnedH2734 against IsraelH3478, and He sold themH4376 into the handH3027 of Cushan-rishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of Aram-naharaimH763,1 and the IsraelitesH1121H3478 servedH5647 him eightH8083 yearsH8141.

9But when the IsraelitesH1121H3478 cried outH2199 toH413 the LORDH3068, He raised upH6965 OthnielH6274 sonH1121 of Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996H4480 brotherH251 KenazH7073 as a delivererH3467 to saveH3467 them. 10The SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 upon himH5921, and he became Israel’sH3478 judgeH8199 and went outH3318 to warH4421. And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 Cushan-rishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of AramH758 into the handH3027 of Othniel, who prevailedH3573H5810H3027 againstH5921 himH3573.

11So the landH776 had restH8252 for fortyH705 yearsH8141, until OthnielH6274 sonH1121 of KenazH7073 diedH4191.
