7The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 1whatH7451 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and 2forgotH7911 the LordH3068 their GodH430 and 3servedH5647 the BaalsH1168 and the 4AsherothH842.

8Then the angerH639 of the LordH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, so that He soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of Cushan-rishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of 5MesopotamiaH763; and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 servedH5647 Cushan-rishathaimH3573 eightH8083 yearsH8141.

9When the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 to the LordH3068, the LordH3068 raisedH6965 up a delivererH3467 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 to deliverH3467 them, 6OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996 brotherH251.

107The SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 upon him, and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478. When he wentH3318 out to warH4421, the LordH3068 gaveH5414 Cushan-rishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of 8MesopotamiaH763 into his handH3027, so that 9he prevailedH5810H3027 overH5921 Cushan-rishathaimH3573.
