| 1 | Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan; | Jg 2:21 Jg 2:22 Dt 7:22 |
| 2 | only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it: | Gn 2:17 Gn 3:5 Gn 3:7 2Ch 12:8 Mt 10:34-39 Jn 16:33 1Co 9:26 1Co 9:27 Eph 6:11-18 1Ti 6:12 2Ti 2:3 2Ti 4:7 |
| 3 | [namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath. | Jg 10:7 Jg 14:4 Jsh 13:3 1Sa 4:1 1Sa 4:2 1Sa 6:18 1Sa 13:5 1Sa 13:19-23 1Sa 29:2 |
| 4 | They were [left], to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses. | Jg 3:1 Jg 2:22 Ex 15:25 Dt 33:8 1Co 11:19 2Th 2:9-12 |
| 5 | The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: | Jg 1:29-32 Ps 106:34-38 |
| 6 | and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods. | Ex 34:16 Dt 7:3 Dt 7:4 1Ki 11:1-5 Ezr 9:11 Ezr 9:12 Ne 13:23-27 Ezk 16:3 |
| 7 | The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth. | Jg 3:12 Jg 2:11-13 |
| 8 | Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled 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. | Jg 2:14 Jg 2:20 Ex 22:24 Dt 29:20 Ps 6:1 Ps 85:3 |
| 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. | Jg 3:15 Jg 4:3 Jg 6:7 Jg 10:10 1Sa 12:10 Ne 9:27 Ps 22:5 Ps 78:34 Ps 106:41-44 Ps 107:13-19 |
| 10 | The Spirit of Yahweh came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan- rishathaim. | Jg 6:34 Jg 11:29 Jg 13:25 Jg 14:6 Jg 14:19 Nm 11:17 Nm 27:18 1Sa 10:6 1Sa 11:6 1Sa 16:13 2Ch 15:1 2Ch 20:14 Ps 51:11 1Co 12:4-11 Heb 6:4 |
| 11 | The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died. | Jg 3:30 Jg 5:31 Jg 8:28 Jsh 11:23 Es 9:22 |
| 12 | The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. | Jg 2:19 Hos 6:4 |
| 13 | He gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees. | Jg 5:14 Ps 83:6 |
| 14 | The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. | Lv 26:23-25 Dt 28:40 Dt 28:47 Dt 28:48 |
| 15 | But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. | Jg 3:9 Ps 50:15 Ps 78:34 Ps 90:15 Jer 29:12 Jer 29:13 Jer 33:3 |
| 16 | Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh. | Ps 149:6 Heb 4:12 Rev 1:16 Rev 2:12 |
| 17 | He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man. | Jg 3:29 1Sa 2:29 Jb 15:27 Ps 73:7 Ps 73:19 Jer 5:28 Jer 50:11 Ezk 34:20 |
| 18 | When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute. |
| 19 | But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to you, king. He said, Keep silence. All who stood by him went out from him. | Jsh 4:20 |
| 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. | Am 3:15 |
| 21 | Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body: | Nm 25:7 Nm 25:8 1Sa 15:33 Jb 20:25 Zc 13:3 2Co 5:16 |
| 22 | and the haft 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 forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them. |
| 24 | Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber. | 1Sa 24:3 |
| 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 was fallen down dead on the earth. |
| 26 | Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah. |
| 27 | It happened, when he had come, that 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 before them. | Jg 5:14 Jg 6:34 1Sa 13:3 2Sa 20:22 2Ki 9:13 |
| 28 | He said to them, Follow after me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn`t allow a man to pass over. | Jg 4:10 Jg 7:17 |
| 29 | They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man. | Jg 3:17 Dt 32:15 Jb 15:27 Ps 17:10 |
| 30 | So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. The land had rest eighty years. | Jg 3:11 Jg 5:31 |
| 31 | After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel. | Jg 5:6 Jg 5:8 |
