Berean Standard Bible
And
these `
are '
the nations which
Jehovah
left ,
to try
Israel
by
them,
all who have
not known all
the wars of
Canaan ;
These are the nations that
the
LORD
left to test
all the
Israelites
who had
not known any
of
the wars in
Canaan ,
(
only for
the
sake
of
the generations of the
sons
of
Israel's
knowing
, to teach
them
war,
only
those who formerly
have
not known them)
--
if
only to
teach
warfare
to
the subsequent
generations of Israel
, especially
to those who had
not known it
formerly:
five princes
of the Philistines, and
all the Canaanite
, and
the Zidonian
, and the Hivite
inhabiting
mount
Lebanon ,
from mount Baal-Hermon unto
the
entering
in
of
Hamath ;
the
five rulers
of the Philistines, all the Canaanites
, the Sidonians
, and the Hivites
who
lived
in
the
mountains
of
Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to
Lebo-
hamath .
and
they
are
to prove
Israel
by
them
, to know
whether they obey
the commands
of Jehovah
that
He commanded
their fathers by
the
hand
of
Moses.
These
nations
were
left
to test
the
Israelites
, to find
out
whether they would
keep
the commandments
of the
LORD,
which
He had
given
their fathers through
Moses.
And
the
sons
of
Israel
have
dwelt
in
the midst
of
the Canaanite
, the
Hittite
, and
the
Amorite
, and
the
Perizzite
, and
the
Hivite
, and the
Jebusite,
Thus
the Israelites
continued
to
live
among
the Canaanites
, Hittites
, Amorites
, Perizzites
, Hivites
, and Jebusites.
and take
their
daughters to
them
for
wives
, and
their daughters have
given
to their sons, and they
serve
their gods ;
And they
took
the
daughters of
these
people
in
marriage
, gave
their own
daughters to their sons, and served
their gods .
and
the
sons
of
Israel
do
the evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
and
forget
Jehovah
their God ,
and serve
the Baalim
and the shrines
.
So
the Israelites
did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD;
they
forgot
the
LORD
their God and served
the Baals
and the Asherahs
.
And
the anger of Jehovah
burneth
against Israel, and He selleth
them into the hand of Chushan
-Rishathaim king of Aram-Naharaim, and the sons
of
Israel
serve
Chushan-Rishathaim
eight years ;
Then
the anger of the
LORD
burned
against Israel, and He sold
them into the hand of Cushan
-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim, and the Israelites
served
him
eight years .
and
the sons
of
Israel
cry
unto
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
raiseth
a
saviour
to the sons
of
Israel
, and
he saveth
them
--
Othniel son of Kenaz,
Caleb's
younger brother ;
But
when
the Israelites
cried
out
to the LORD
, He raised
up
Othniel son of Caleb’s
younger brother Kenaz
as
a
deliverer
to
save
them.
and
the Spirit of Jehovah
is
upon him, and he judgeth
Israel,
and goeth
out to battle,
and Jehovah
giveth
unto
his
hand
Chushan
-Rishathaim king of Aram ,
and
strong
is
his
hand against Chushan-Rishathaim;
The Spirit of the
LORD
came
upon him, and he became
Israel’s
judge
and went
out to war.
And the
LORD
delivered
Cushan
-rishathaim king of Aram into
the
hand of
Othniel,
who
prevailed
against him.
and
the land resteth
forty years .
And
Othniel son of Kenaz dieth,
So
the land had
rest
for
forty years ,
until
Othniel son of Kenaz died.
and
the
sons
of
Israel
add
to
do
the evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
strengtheneth
Eglon king of Moab against
Israel, because that
they have
done the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah;
Once
again
the Israelites
did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD.
So
He
gave
Eglon king of Moab power
over
Israel, because they had
done evil in the sight
of the
LORD.
and
he
gathereth
unto
him
the Bene-Ammon
and Amalek
, and
goeth
and smiteth
Israel, and
they
possess
the city of palms ;
After
enlisting
the Ammonites
and Amalekites
to
join
forces
with
him
, Eglon
attacked
and defeated
Israel, taking
possession
of
the City of Palms .
and
the sons
of
Israel
serve
Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
The Israelites
served
Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
And the sons
of
Israel
cry
unto
Jehovah
, and Jehovah
raiseth
to
them
a
saviour,
Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite
(a
man
-
- shut
of
his
right
hand)
, and
the
sons
of
Israel
send
by
his
hand
a
present
to Eglon king of Moab ;
And again
they
cried
out
to
the LORD
, and He
raised
up
Ehud son of Gera, a left
- handed
Benjamite
, as
their
deliverer.
So
they
sent
him
with
tribute
to Eglon king of Moab .
and
Ehud maketh
for himself a sword ,
and
it
hath
two
mouths
(
a cubit `is'
its
length),
and
he girdeth
it under
his
long
robe
on
his right thigh ;
Now
Ehud had
made
for himself a double-edged
sword a cubit long.
He strapped
it to
his right thigh under
his
cloak
and he
bringeth
near
the present
to Eglon king of Moab, and
Eglon
`is'
a
very
fat
man.
and brought
the tribute
to Eglon king of Moab, who
was
an
obese
man.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
when
he
hath
finished to
bring
near
the present
, that
he sendeth
away
the
people
bearing
the
present,
After
Ehud
had
finished presenting
the tribute
, he ushered
out
those
who
had
carried
it.
and
he himself hath
turned back from
the
graven
images
which
`are'
at
Gilgal,
and saith
, `A
secret
word
I have unto
thee
, O king ;'
and
he
saith
, `Hush!'
and go
out
from
him
do
all those
standing
by
him.
But
upon
reaching
the
idols
near
Gilgal,
he himself turned back and said
, “
I have a
secret
message
for
you
, O king .”
“Silence
, ”
said
the
king,
and all his
attendants
left
him.
And
Ehud hath
come
unto
him ,
and
he is
sitting in the upper
chamber
of the
wall
which
he
hath
for himself
, and
Ehud saith
, `A
word
of
God
I
have
unto
thee;'
and he
riseth
from
off
the throne;
Then
Ehud approached
him while
he was
sitting alone
in the coolness
of his
upper
room.
“I
have
a
word
from
God
for you
, ”
Ehud said
, and the king
rose
from
his
seat.
and Ehud putteth
forth
his left hand, and
taketh
the sword from off
his right thigh, and striketh
it into his
belly ;
And Ehud reached
with
his left hand, pulled
the sword from his right thigh, and plunged
it into Eglon’s
belly .
and
the haft
also
goeth
in after the blade, and the
fat shutteth
on
the
blade
, that he
hath
not drawn
the sword out
of
his belly ,
and it
goeth
out
at
the
fundament
.
Even
the handle
sank
in after the blade, and Eglon’s
fat closed
in
over
it
, so
that Ehud
did
not withdraw
the sword from
his belly .
And Eglon’s
bowels
emptied
.
And
Ehud goeth
out at
the porch, and shutteth
the doors of the upper chamber
upon
him ,
and
hath
bolted
`it';
Then
Ehud went
out through
the porch, closing
and locking
the doors of the upper room
behind
him .
and
he
hath
gone out
, and
his
servants have
come
in ,
and look,
and
lo,
the doors of the upper chamber
are
bolted,
and
they
say,
`
He is
only
covering
his
feet
in the inner
chamber
of
the
wall
. '
After
Ehud
was
gone, Eglon’s
servants came
in and found
the doors of the upper room
locked.
“
He must
be
relieving
himself
in the cool
room,”
they
said
.
And
they stay
till
confounded,
and lo,
he is
not opening
the doors of the upper chamber,
and
they take
the key ,
and open,
and lo,
their lord is
fallen
to
the
earth
--
dead.
So
they waited
until
they
became
worried
and saw
that
he had
still
not opened
the doors of the upper room.
Then
they took
the key and opened
the
doors—
and there
was
their lord lying
dead on
the
floor
.
And
Ehud escaped
during
their
tarrying
, and
hath
passed by the images,
and is
escaped to Seirath
.
Ehud, however,
had
escaped
while
the
servants
waited.
He
passed by the idols
and escaped to Seirah
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
his
coming
in, that
he bloweth
with
a
trumpet
in
the hill -
country of Ephraim ,
and
go
down with him do
the
sons
of
Israel
from the hill-country
, and he before
them;
On
arriving
in Seirah
, he blew
the ram’s
horn
throughout
the
hill country of Ephraim .
The
Israelites
came
down with him from the hills
, and he became
their
leader.
and
he saith
unto
them, `Pursue
after
me,
for Jehovah
hath
given
your enemies ,
the Moabites ,
into your hand ;'
and
they go
down
after
him ,
and capture
the passages
of the Jordan towards
Moab, and have
not permitted
a
man
to pass
over.
“Follow
me,”
he told
them, “
for the
LORD
has
delivered
your enemies the Moabites into your hand .”
So
they followed
him down
and seized
the fords
of the Jordan leading
to
Moab, and did
not allow
anyone
to cross
over.
And
they
smite
Moab
at that time ,
about ten thousand men
, all robust ,
and every
one a
man
of valour,
and
not
a
man
hath
escaped ,
At that time they
struck
down
about ten thousand Moabites
, all robust and valiant
men.
Not
one of them
escaped .
and
Moab is
humbled
in
that
day
under the hand of Israel ;
and the land resteth
eighty years.
So
Moab was
subdued
under the hand of Israel that
day,
and the land had
rest
for
eighty years.
And
after him
hath
been
Shamgar son of Anath ,
and he smiteth
the
Philistines
--
six hundred men
--
with an ox-goad,
and
he
saveth
--
he
also
--
Israel
.
After Ehud
came
Shamgar son of Anath .
And he too
saved
Israel,
striking
down
six hundred Philistines
with an oxgoad
.
