[1] Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to test Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan; [2] only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before: [3] the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath. [4] They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to Yahweh’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by Moses. [5] The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. [6] They took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods. [7] The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth. [8] Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years. [9] When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. [10] Yahweh’s Spirit came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. His hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim. [11] The land had rest forty years, then Othniel the son of Kenaz died. [12] The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. [13] He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees. [14] The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. [15] But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. [16] Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubitⓘ in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh. [17] He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. [18] When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. [19] But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.”The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him left him. [20] Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God to you.” He arose out of his seat. [21] Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body. [22] The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind. [23] Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them. [24] After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said, “Surely he is covering his feet§ in the upper room.” [25] They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor. [26] Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah. [27] When he had come, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he led them. [28] He said to them, “Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any man to pass over. [29] They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped. [30] So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years. [31] After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.

[1] Now these [are] the nationsH1471 which the LordH3068 left,H3240(HiphPerf) to proveH5254(PielInf) IsraelH3478 by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not knownH3045(QalPerf) all the warsH4421 of Canaan;H3667 [2] Only thatH7535 the generationsH1755 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 might know,H3045(QalInf) to teachH3925(PielInf) them war,H4421 at the least such as beforeH6440 knewH3045(QalPerf) nothing thereof; [3] [Namely], fiveH2568 lordsH5633 of the Philistines,H6430 and all the Canaanites,H3669 and the Sidonians,H6722 and the HivitesH2340 that dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in mountH2022 Lebanon,H3844 from mountH2022 BaalhermonH1179 unto the entering inH935(QalInf) of Hamath.H2574 [4] And they were to proveH5254(PielInf) IsraelH3478 by them, to knowH3045(QalInf) whether they would hearkenH8085(QalImpf) unto the commandmentsH4687 of the Lord,H3068 which he commandedH6680(PielPerf) their fathersH1 by the handH3027 of Moses.H4872 [5] And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427(QalPerf) amongH7130 the Canaanites,H3669 Hittites,H2850 and Amorites,H567 and Perizzites,H6522 and Hivites,H2340 and Jebusites:H2983 [6] And they tookH3947(QalImpf) their daughtersH1323 to be their wives,H802 and gaveH5414(QalPerf) their daughtersH1323 to their sons,H1121 and servedH5647(QalImpf) their gods.H430 [7] And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213(QalImpf) evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the Lord,H3068 and forgatH7911(QalImpf) the LordH3068 their God,H430 and servedH5647(QalImpf) BaalimH1168 and the groves.H842 [8] Therefore the angerH639 of the LordH3068 was hotH2734(QalImpf) against Israel,H3478 and he soldH4376(QalImpf) them into the handH3027 of ChushanrishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of Mesopotamia:H763 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 servedH5647(QalImpf) ChushanrishathaimH3573 eightH8083 years.H8141 [9] And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199(QalImpf) unto the Lord,H3068 the LordH3068 raised upH6965(HiphImpf) a delivererH3467(HiphPtc) to the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 who deliveredH3467(HiphImpf) them, [even] OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of Kenaz,H7073 Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996 brother.H251 [10] And the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 came upon him, and he judgedH8199(QalImpf) Israel,H3478 and went outH3318(QalImpf) to war:H4421 and the LordH3068 deliveredH5414(QalImpf) ChushanrishathaimH3573 kingH4428 of MesopotamiaH763 into his hand;H3027 and his handH3027 prevailedH5810(QalImpf) against Chushanrishathaim.H3573 [11] And the landH776 had restH8252(QalImpf) fortyH705 years.H8141 And OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073 died.H4191(QalImpf) [12] And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213(QalInf) evilH7451 againH3254(HiphImpf) in the sightH5869 of the Lord:H3068 and the LordH3068 strengthenedH2388(PielImpf) EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 against Israel,H3478 because they had doneH6213(QalPerf) evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the Lord.H3068 [13] And he gatheredH622(QalImpf) unto him the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and Amalek,H6002 and wentH3212(QalImpf) and smoteH5221(HiphImpf) Israel,H3478 and possessedH3423(QalImpf) the cityH5892 of palm trees.H8558(QK) [14] So the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 servedH5647(QalImpf) EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 eighteenH8083 years.H8141 [15] But when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199(QalImpf) unto the Lord,H3068 the LordH3068 raised them upH6965(HiphImpf) a deliverer,H3467(HiphPtc) EhudH164 the sonH1121 of Gera,H1617 a Benjamite,H1145 a manH376 lefthanded:H334 and by himH3027 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971(QalImpf) a presentH4503 unto EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of Moab.H4124 [16] But EhudH164 madeH6213(QalImpf) him a daggerH2719 which had twoH8147 edges,H6366 of a cubitH1574 length;H753 and he did girdH2296(QalImpf) it under his raimentH4055 upon his rightH3225 thigh.H3409 [17] And he broughtH7126(HiphImpf) the presentH4503 unto EglonH5700 kingH4428 of Moab:H4124 and EglonH5700 [was] a veryH3966 fatH1277 man.H376 [18] And when he had made an endH3615(PielPerf) to offerH7126(HiphInf) the present,H4503 he sent awayH7971(PielImpf) the peopleH5971 that bareH5375(QalActPtc) the present.H4503 [19] But he himself turned againH7725(QalPerf) from the quarriesH6456 that [were] by Gilgal,H1537 and said,H559(QalImpf) I have a secretH5643 errandH1697 unto thee, O king:H4428 who said,H559(QalImpf) Keep silence.H2013(PielImpv) And all that stoodH5975(QalActPtc) by him went outH3318(QalImpf) from him. [20] And EhudH164 cameH935(QalPerf) unto him; and he was sittingH3427(QalActPtc) in a summerH4747 parlour,H5944 which he had for himself alone. And EhudH164 said,H559(QalImpf) I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 unto thee. And he aroseH6965(QalImpf) out of [his] seat.H3678 [21] And EhudH164 put forthH7971(QalImpf) his leftH8040 hand,H3027 and tookH3947(QalImpf) the daggerH2719 from his rightH3225 thigh,H3409 and thrustH8628(QalImpf) it into his belly:H990 [22] And the haftH5325 also went inH935(QalImpf) afterH310 the blade;H3851 and the fatH2459 closedH5462(QalImpf) uponH1157 the blade,H3851 so that he could not drawH8025(QalPerf) the daggerH2719 out of his belly;H990 and the dirtH6574 came out.H3318(QalImpf) [23] Then EhudH164 went forthH3318(QalImpf) through the porch,H4528 and shutH5462(QalImpf) the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944 upon him, and lockedH5274(QalPerf) them. [24] When he was gone out,H3318(QalPerf) his servantsH5650 came;H935(QalPerf) and when they sawH7200(QalImpf) that, behold, the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944 [were] locked,H5274(QalPasPtc) they said,H559(QalImpf) Surely he coverethH5526(HiphPtc) his feetH7272 in his summerH4747 chamber.H2315 [25] And they tarriedH2342(QalImpf) till they were ashamed:H954(QalInf) and, behold, he openedH6605(QalActPtc) not the doorsH1817 of the parlour;H5944 therefore they tookH3947(QalImpf) a key,H4668 and openedH6605(QalImpf) [them]: and, behold, their lordH113 [was] fallen downH5307(QalActPtc) deadH4191(QalPtc) on the earth.H776 [26] And EhudH164 escapedH4422(NiphPerf) while they tarried,H4102(HippInf) and passed beyondH5674(QalPerf) the quarries,H6456 and escapedH4422(NiphImpf) unto Seirath.H8167 [27] And it came to pass, when he was come,H935(QalInf) that he blewH8628(QalImpf) a trumpetH7782 in the mountainH2022 of Ephraim,H669 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went downH3381(QalImpf) with him from the mount,H2022 and he beforeH6440 them. [28] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto them, FollowH7291(QalImpv) afterH310 me: for the LordH3068 hath deliveredH5414(QalPerf) your enemiesH341(QalActPtc) the MoabitesH4124 into your hand.H3027 And they went downH3381(QalImpf) afterH310 him, and tookH3920(QalImpf) the fordsH4569 of JordanH3383 toward Moab,H4124 and sufferedH5414(QalPerf) not a manH376 to pass over.H5674(QalInf) [29] And they slewH5221(HiphImpf) of MoabH4124 at that timeH6256 about tenH6235 thousandH505 men,H376 all lusty,H8082 and all menH376 of valour;H2428 and there escapedH4422(NiphPerf) not a man.H376 [30] So MoabH4124 was subduedH3665(NiphImpf) that dayH3117 under the handH3027 of Israel.H3478 And the landH776 had restH8252(QalImpf) fourscoreH8084 years.H8141 [31] And afterH310 him was ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of Anath,H6067 which slewH5221(HiphImpf) of the PhilistinesH6430 sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 with an oxH1241 goad:H4451 and he also deliveredH3467(HiphImpf) Israel.H3478
