Judges 3:5-11

[5] And the children  of Israel  dwelt  among  the Canaanites,  Hittites,  and Amorites,  and Perizzites,  and Hivites,  and Jebusites:  [6] And they took  their daughters  to be their wives,  and gave  their daughters  to their sons,  and served  their gods.  [7] And the children  of Israel  did  evil  in the sight  of the LORD,  and forgat  the LORD  their God,  and served  Baalim  and the groves.  [8] Therefore the anger  of the LORD  was hot  against Israel,  and he sold  them into the hand  of Chushanrishathaim  king  of Mesopotamia:  and the children  of Israel  served  Chushanrishathaim  eight  years.  [9] And when the children  of Israel  cried  unto the LORD,  raised up  a deliverer  to the children  of Israel,  who delivered  them, even Othniel  the son  of Kenaz,  Caleb's  younger  brother.  [10] And the Spirit  of the LORD  came upon him, and he judged  Israel,  and went out  to war:  and the LORD  delivered  Chushanrishathaim  king  into his hand;  prevailed  against Chushanrishathaim.  [11] And the land  had rest  forty  years.  And Othniel  the son  of Kenaz  died.
