Judges 3:7-16:31

[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.  [12] And the children  of Israel  did  evil  again  in the sight  of the LORD:  strengthened  Eglon  the king  of Moab  against Israel,  because they had done  evil  in the sight  of the LORD.  [13] And he gathered  unto him the children  of Ammon  and Amalek,  and smote  Israel,  and possessed  the city  of palm trees.  [14] So the children  of Israel  served  Eglon  the king  of Moab  eighteen  years.  [15] But when the children  of Israel  cried  unto the LORD,  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.  [16] But Ehud  made  him a dagger  which had two  edges,  of a cubit  length;  and he did gird  it under his raiment  upon his right  thigh.
