Judges 3
3:1And these are the nations which the lord left with them so as to test Israel by them, all the ones not knowing all the wars of Canaan,
3:2this was only for the sake of the generations of the sons of Israel, to teach them war, except the ones before them did not know them,
3:3namely the five satrapies of the Philistines, and every Canaanite, and the Sidonian, and the Hivite dwelling in Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto Hamath.
3:4And it happened so as to test Israel by them, to know if they will hearken to the commandments of the lord which he gave charge to their fathers by the hand of Moses.
3:5And the sons of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
3:6And they took their daughters unto themselves for wives, and their daughters they gave to their sons, and they served their gods.
3:7And the sons of Israel acted wickedly before the lord, and they forgot the lord their God, and they served to the Baalim, and to the sacred groves.
3:8And the lord was provoked to anger in rage with Israel, and he gave them into the hands of Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria Mesopotamia. And the sons of Israel served to him eight years.
3:9And the sons of Israel cried out to the lord, and the lord raised up a deliver for Israel, and he delivered them -- Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb the one younger than him.
3:10And spirit of the lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and he went unto the war. And the lord delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; And he fortified his hand against Cushan-rishathaim.
3:11And the land was tranquil forty years, and Othniel son of Kenaz died.
3:12And the sons of Israel proceeded to do wickedly before the lord. And the lord strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because of their acting wickedly before the lord.
3:13And he brought together to himself all the sons of Ammon and Amalek, and he went and struck Israel, and inherited the city of the palms.
3:14And the sons of Israel served to Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
3:15And the sons of Israel cried out to the lord; and the lord raised up to them a deliverer -- Ehud son of Gera, son of Benjamin, a man ambidextrous. And the sons of Israel sent gifts by his hand to Eglon king of Moab.
3:16And Ehud made for himself a knife, double-edged, a span being the length of it; and he girded it under the uniform, upon his right thigh.
3:17And he brought the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. And Eglon was a man of exceedingly fair weight.
3:18And it came to pass as Ehud completed bringing the gifts, that he sent out the ones carrying the gifts,
3:19and he returned from the carvings by Gilgal. And Ehud said, There is with me a secret word for you, O king. And Eglon said to him, Be silent! And went forth from him all the ones standing around him.
3:20And Ehud entered to him, and he sat in his upper harvest room alone. And Ehud said, There is a word of God with me to you, O king. And Eglon rose up from the throne near him.
3:21And it happened together in his rising up, that Ehud stretched out his left hand and took the knife from his right thigh, and he stuck it into the belly of Eglon.
3:22And he brought in addition also indeed the handle after the blade; and the fat locked onto the blade, for he could not pull out the knife from out of his belly.
3:23And Ehud went forth into the antechamber; and he went forth by the things set in order, and locked the doors of the upper room by him, and wedged them.
3:24And he went forth. And his servants entered, and they saw, and behold, the doors of the upper room were wedged. And they said, Perhaps he sits with the chair in the voidance of the bedroom.
3:25And they remained being ashamed. And behold, there was not one opening the doors of the upper room. And they took the key, and they opened. And behold, their master was fallen upon the ground having died.
3:26And Ehud came through safe until they made a disruption. And there was not one paying attention to him. And he went by the carvings, and came through safe into Seirath.
3:27And it came to pass when he came, that he trumped a horn in mount Ephraim. and the sons of Israel went down with him from the mountain, and he in front of them.
3:28And he said to them, Come down after me, for the lord God delivered up our enemies of Moab into our hand. And they went down after him, and first took the ford of the Jordan of Moab, and they did not allow a man to pass over.
3:29And they struck Moab in that time, about ten thousand men, all the warriors, and every man having power; and not a man came through safe.
3:30And Moab felt shame in that day under the hand of Israel; and the land was tranquil eighty years.
3:31And after him rose up Shamgar son of Anath, and he struck the Philistines up to six hundred men by the plowshare of the oxen; and he himself delivered Israel.
