Judges 3:9-15

9And when the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh, Yhwh raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.1 10And the Spirit of Yhwh came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: And Yhwh delivered Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan–rishathaim.23 11And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

12And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of Yhwh: And Yhwh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of Yhwh. 13And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. 14So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 15But when the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh, Yhwh 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.45
