| 3:1 | Now these [are] the nations <01471> which the LORD <03068> left <03240> (8689), to prove <05254> (8763) Israel <03478> by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known <03045> (8804) all the wars <04421> of Canaan <03667>; |
| 3:2 | Only that <07535> the generations <01755> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> might know <03045> (8800), to teach <03925> (8763) them war <04421>, at the least such as before <06440> knew <03045> (8804) nothing thereof; |
| 3:3 | [Namely], five <02568> lords <05633> of the Philistines <06430>, and all the Canaanites <03669>, and the Sidonians <06722>, and the Hivites <02340> that dwelt <03427> (8802) in mount <02022> Lebanon <03844>, from mount <02022> Baalhermon <01179> unto the entering in <0935> (8800) of Hamath <02574>. |
| 3:4 | And they were to prove <05254> (8763) Israel <03478> by them, to know <03045> (8800) whether they would hearken <08085> (8799) unto the commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068>, which he commanded <06680> (8765) their fathers <01> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>. |
| 3:5 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> dwelt <03427> (8804) among <07130> the Canaanites <03669>, Hittites <02850>, and Amorites <0567>, and Perizzites <06522>, and Hivites <02340>, and Jebusites <02983>: |
| 3:6 | And they took <03947> (8799) their daughters <01323> to be their wives <0802>, and gave <05414> (8804) their daughters <01323> to their sons <01121>, and served <05647> (8799) their gods <0430>. |
| 3:7 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> (8799) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and forgat <07911> (8799) the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and served <05647> (8799) Baalim <01168> and the groves <0842>. |
| 3:8 | Therefore the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was hot <02734> (8799) against Israel <03478>, and he sold <04376> (8799) them into the hand <03027> of Chushanrishathaim <03573> king <04428> of Mesopotamia <0763>: and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> served <05647> (8799) Chushanrishathaim <03573> eight <08083> years <08141>. {Mesopotamia: Heb. Aramnaharaim} |
| 3:9 | And when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> cried <02199> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, the LORD <03068> raised up <06965> (8686) a deliverer <03467> (8688) to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, who delivered <03467> (8686) them, [even] Othniel <06274> the son <01121> of Kenaz <07073>, Caleb's <03612> younger <06996> brother <0251>. {deliverer: Heb. saviour} |
| 3:10 | And the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> came upon him, and he judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478>, and went out <03318> (8799) to war <04421>: and the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8799) Chushanrishathaim <03573> king <04428> of Mesopotamia <0763> into his hand <03027>; and his hand <03027> prevailed <05810> (8799) against Chushanrishathaim <03573>. {came: Heb. was} {Mesopotamia: Heb. Aram} |
| 3:11 | And the land <0776> had rest <08252> (8799) forty <0705> years <08141>. And Othniel <06274> the son <01121> of Kenaz <07073> died <04191> (8799). |
| 3:12 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> (8800) evil <07451> again <03254> (8686) in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>: and the LORD <03068> strengthened <02388> (8762) Eglon <05700> the king <04428> of Moab <04124> against Israel <03478>, because they had done <06213> (8804) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 3:13 | And he gathered <0622> (8799) unto him the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> and Amalek <06002>, and went <03212> (8799) and smote <05221> (8686) Israel <03478>, and possessed <03423> (8799) the city <05892> of palm trees <08558> (8677) <05899>. |
| 3:14 | So the children <01121> of Israel <03478> served <05647> (8799) Eglon <05700> the king <04428> of Moab <04124> eighteen <08083> <06240> years <08141>. |
| 3:15 | But when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> cried <02199> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, the LORD <03068> raised them up <06965> (8686) a deliverer <03467> (8688), Ehud <0164> the son <01121> of Gera <01617>, a Benjamite <01145>, a man <0376> lefthanded <0334> <03225>: and by him <03027> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> sent <07971> (8799) a present <04503> unto Eglon <05700> the king <04428> of Moab <04124>. {a Benjamite: or, the son of Jemini} {lefthanded: Heb. shut of his right hand} |
| 3:16 | But Ehud <0164> made <06213> (8799) him a dagger <02719> which had two <08147> edges <06366>, of a cubit <01574> length <0753>; and he did gird <02296> (8799) it under his raiment <04055> upon his right <03225> thigh <03409>. |
| 3:17 | And he brought <07126> (8686) the present <04503> unto Eglon <05700> king <04428> of Moab <04124>: and Eglon <05700> [was] a very <03966> fat <01277> man <0376>. |
| 3:18 | And when he had made an end <03615> (8765) to offer <07126> (8687) the present <04503>, he sent away <07971> (8762) the people <05971> that bare <05375> (8802) the present <04503>. |
| 3:19 | But he himself turned again <07725> (8804) from the quarries <06456> that [were] by Gilgal <01537>, and said <0559> (8799), I have a secret <05643> errand <01697> unto thee, O king <04428>: who said <0559> (8799), Keep silence <02013> (8761). And all that stood <05975> (8802) by him went out <03318> (8799) from him. {quarries: or, graven images} |
| 3:20 | And Ehud <0164> came <0935> (8804) unto him; and he was sitting <03427> (8802) in a summer <04747> parlour <05944>, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud <0164> said <0559> (8799), I have a message <01697> from God <0430> unto thee. And he arose <06965> (8799) out of [his] seat <03678>. {a summer...: Heb. a parlour of cooling} |
| 3:21 | And Ehud <0164> put forth <07971> (8799) his left <08040> hand <03027>, and took <03947> (8799) the dagger <02719> from his right <03225> thigh <03409>, and thrust <08628> (8799) it into his belly <0990>: |
| 3:22 | And the haft <05325> also went in <0935> (8799) after <0310> the blade <03851>; and the fat <02459> closed <05462> (8799) upon <01157> the blade <03851>, so that he could not draw <08025> (8804) the dagger <02719> out of his belly <0990>; and the dirt <06574> came out <03318> (8799). {the dirt...: or, it came out at the buttocks} |
| 3:23 | Then Ehud <0164> went forth <03318> (8799) through the porch <04528>, and shut <05462> (8799) the doors <01817> of the parlour <05944> upon him, and locked <05274> (8804) them. |
| 3:24 | When he was gone out <03318> (8804), his servants <05650> came <0935> (8804); and when they saw <07200> (8799) that, behold, the doors <01817> of the parlour <05944> [were] locked <05274> (8803), they said <0559> (8799), Surely he covereth <05526> (8688) his feet <07272> in his summer <04747> chamber <02315>. {covereth...: or, doeth his easement} |
| 3:25 | And they tarried <02342> (8799) till they were ashamed <0954> (8800): and, behold, he opened <06605> (8802) not the doors <01817> of the parlour <05944>; therefore they took <03947> (8799) a key <04668>, and opened <06605> (8799) [them]: and, behold, their lord <0113> [was] fallen down <05307> (8802) dead <04191> (8801) on the earth <0776>. |
| 3:26 | And Ehud <0164> escaped <04422> (8738) while they tarried <04102> (8699), and passed beyond <05674> (8804) the quarries <06456>, and escaped <04422> (8735) unto Seirath <08167>. |
| 3:27 | And it came to pass, when he was come <0935> (8800), that he blew <08628> (8799) a trumpet <07782> in the mountain <02022> of Ephraim <0669>, and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> went down <03381> (8799) with him from the mount <02022>, and he before <06440> them. |
| 3:28 | And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Follow <07291> (8798) after <0310> me: for the LORD <03068> hath delivered <05414> (8804) your enemies <0341> (8802) the Moabites <04124> into your hand <03027>. And they went down <03381> (8799) after <0310> him, and took <03920> (8799) the fords <04569> of Jordan <03383> toward Moab <04124>, and suffered <05414> (8804) not a man <0376> to pass over <05674> (8800). |
| 3:29 | And they slew <05221> (8686) of Moab <04124> at that time <06256> about ten <06235> thousand <0505> men <0376>, all lusty <08082>, and all men <0376> of valour <02428>; and there escaped <04422> (8738) not a man <0376>. {lusty: Heb. fat} |
| 3:30 | So Moab <04124> was subdued <03665> (8735) that day <03117> under the hand <03027> of Israel <03478>. And the land <0776> had rest <08252> (8799) fourscore <08084> years <08141>. |
| 3:31 | And after <0310> him was Shamgar <08044> the son <01121> of Anath <06067>, which slew <05221> (8686) of the Philistines <06430> six <08337> hundred <03967> men <0376> with an ox <01241> goad <04451>: and he also delivered <03467> (8686) Israel <03478>. |
