And these [are] the nations which the Lord left to prove Israel with them, all that had not known the wars of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}. |
|
3:1 ¶
Now theseº
[are] the nationsº
whichº
Yahwehº
left,ººº
to proveººº
Israelº
by them, [even]º
as manyºº
[of Israel] as had notº
knownººº
allº
the warsº
of Canaan;º |
|
3:2
Only for the sake of the generations of Israel, to teach them war, only the men before them knew them not. |
|
3:2
Onlyº
thatºº
the generationsº
of the childrenº
of Israelº
might know,ºº
to teachºº
them war,º
at the leastº
such asº
beforeº
knewºº
nothingº
thereof; |

The five lordships of the Philistines{gr.Phylistines}, and every Canaanite{gr.Chananite}, and the Zidonian{gr.Sidonian}, and the Hivite{gr.Evite} who dwelt in Lebanon{gr.Libanus} from the mount of Hermon{gr.Aermon} to Laboemath. |

lordsº
of the Philistines,º

the Canaanites,º
and the Sidonians,º
and the Hivitesº
that dweltºº
in mountº
Lebanon,º
from mountºº
Baalhermonº
untoº
the entering inºº
of Hamath.º |
|
3:4
And [this] was done in order to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commands of the Lord, which he charged their fathers by the hand of Mosheh{gr.Moses}. |
|
3:4
And they wereº
to proveººº
Israelº
by them, to knowºº
whether they would hearkenºº
untoº
the commandmentsº
of Yahweh,º
whichº
he commandedººº
their fathersº
by the handº
of Moses.º |
|
3:5 ¶
And the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite{gr.Chananite}, and the Hittite{gr.Chettite}, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite{gr.Pherezite}, and the Hivite{gr.Evite}, and the Jebusite. |

And the childrenº
of Israelº
dweltºº
amongº
the Canaanites,º
Hittites,º

And they took their daughters for wives to themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. |
|
3:6

3:8 ¶
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hand of Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers: and the children of Israel served Chusarsathaim eight years. |
|
3:8 ¶
Therefore the angerº
of Yahwehº
was hotºº
against Israel,º
and he soldºº
them into the handº
of Chushanrishathaimº
kingº
of Mesopotamia:º
and the childrenº
of Israelº
servedººº
Chushanrishathaimº
eightº
years.º |
|
3:9
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and the Lord raised up a saviour to Israel, and he saved them, Othniel{gr.Gothoniel} the son of Kenaz{gr.Kenez}, the brother of Caleb{gr.Chaleb} younger than himself. |
|
3:9
And when the childrenº
of Israelº
criedºº
untoº

Yahwehº
raised upºº
a delivererºº
to the childrenº
of Israel,º
who deliveredºº
them, [even]º
Othnielº
the sonº
of Kenaz,º
Caleb'sº
youngerº
brother.º |
|
3:10
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war against Chusarsathaim: and the Lord delivered into his hand Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers, and his hand prevailed against Chusarsathaim. |
|
3:10
And the Spiritº

3:12 ¶
And the children of Israel continued to do evil before the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon{gr.Eglom} king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil before the Lord. |
|
3:12 ¶
And the childrenº
of Israelº
didºº
evilº
againºº
in the sightº
of Yahweh:º
and Yahwehº
strengthenedººº
Eglonº
the kingº
of Moabº
againstº
Israel,º
becauseºº
they had doneººº
evilº
in the sightº
of Yahweh.º |
|

And he gatheredºº
untoº
himº
the childrenº
of Ammonº
and Amalek,º
and wentººº
and smoteººº
Israel,º
and possessedººº
the cityº
of palm trees.ººº |
|
3:14
And the children of Israel served Eglon{gr.Eglom} the king of Moab eighteen years. |
|
3:14
So the childrenº
of Israelº
servedººº
Eglonº
the kingº
of Moabº
eighteenºº
years.º |
|
3:15
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and he raised up to them a saviour, Ehud{gr.Aod} the son of Gera a son of Jemeni, a man who used both hands alike: and the children of Israel sent gifts by his hand to Eglon{gr.Eglom} king of Moab. |
|
3:15
But when the childrenº
of Israelº
criedºº
untoº
Yahweh,º
Yahwehº
raised them upºº
a deliverer,ººº
Ehudºº
the sonº
of Gera,º
a Benjamite,ºº
a manº
lefthanded:ººº
and by himº
the childrenº
of Israelº
sentºº
a presentº
unto Eglonº
the kingº
of Moab.º |
|
3:16
And Ehud{gr.Aod} made himself a dagger of two edges, of a span long, and he girded it under his cloak upon his right thigh. |
|
3:16
But Ehudºº
madeºº
him a daggerº
which had twoº
edges,º
of a cubitº
length;º
and he did girdºº
it underºº
his raimentº
uponº
his rightº
thigh.º |
|
3:17
And he went, and brought the presents to Eglon{gr.Eglom} king of Moab, and Eglon{gr.Eglom} [was] a very handsome man. |
|
3:17
And he broughtººº
the presentº
unto Eglonº
kingº
of Moab:º
and Eglonº
[was] a veryº
fatº
man.º |
|
3:18
And it came to pass when [Ehud{gr.Aod}] had made an end of offering his gifts, that he dismissed those that brought the gifts. |
|
3:18
And whenº
he had made an endºº
to offerººº
the present,º
he sent awayººº
the peopleº
that bareºº
the present.º |
|
3:19
And he himself returned from the quarries that are by Gilgal{gr.Galgal}; and Ehud{gr.Aod} said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king! and Eglon{gr.Eglom} said to him, Be silent: and he sent away from his presence all who waited upon him. |
|
3:19
But heº
himself turned againºº
fromº
the quarriesº
thatº
[were] byº
Gilgal,º
and said,ºº
I have a secretº
errandº
unto thee, O king:º
who said,ºº
Keep silence.ºº
And allº
that stoodºº
by him went outºº
fromºº
him. |
|
3:20
And Ehud{gr.Aod} went in to him; and he sat in his own upper summer chamber quite alone; and Ehud{gr.Aod} said, I have a message from God to thee, O king: and Eglon{gr.Eglom} rose up from his throne near him. |
|
3:20
And Ehudºº
cameºº
untoº
him; and heº
was sittingºº
in a summerº
parlour,º
whichº
he had for himself alone.º
And Ehudºº
said,ºº
I have a messageº
from Elohimº
untoº
thee. And he aroseºº
out ofºº
[his] seat.º |
|
3:21
And it came to pass as he arose, that Ehud{gr.Aod} stretched forth his left hand, and took the dagger off his right thigh, and plunged it into his belly; |
|
3:21
And Ehudºº
put forthººº
his leftº
hand,º
and tookººº
the daggerº
fromºº
his rightº
thigh,º
and thrustºº
it into his belly:º |
|
3:22
and drove in also the haft after the blade, and the fat closed in upon the blade, for he drew not out the dagger from his belly. |
|
3:22
And the haftº
alsoº
went inºº
afterº
the blade;º
and the fatº
closedºº
uponº
the blade,º
so thatº
he could notº
drawºº
the daggerº
out of his belly;ºº
and the dirtº
came out.ºº |
|
3:23
And Ehud{gr.Aod} went out to the porch, and passed out by the appointed [guards], and shut the doors of the chamber upon him, and locked [them]. |
|
3:23
Then Ehudºº
went forthºº
through the porch,º
and shutºº
the doorsº
of the parlourº
upon him,º
and lockedºº
them. |
|
3:24
And he went out: and Eglon's{gr.Eglom} servants came, and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber [were] locked; and they said, Does he not uncover his feet in the summer-chamber? |
|
3:24
When heº
was gone out,ºº
his servantsº
came;ºº
and when they sawºº
that, behold,º
the doorsº
of the parlourº
[were] locked,ºº
they said,ºº
Surelyº
heº
coverethººº
his feetº
in his summerº
chamber.º |
|
3:25
And they waited till they were ashamed, and, behold, there was no one that opened the doors of the upper chamber; and they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead upon the earth. |
|
3:25
And they tarriedºº
tillº
they were ashamed:ºº
and, behold,º
he openedºº
notº
the doorsº
of the parlour;º
therefore they tookººº
a key,º
and openedºº
[them]: and, behold,º
their adonº
[was] fallen downºº
deadºº
on the earth.º |
|
3:26
And Ehud{gr.Aod} escaped while they were in a tumult, and no one paid attention to him; and he passed the quarries, and escaped to Setirotha. |
|
3:26
And Ehudºº
escapedºº
whileº
they tarried,ºº
and passed beyondººº
the quarries,º
and escapedºº
unto Seirath.º |
|
3:27
And it came to pass when Ehud{gr.Aod} came into the land of Israel, that he blew the horn in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came down with him from the mountain, and he [was] before them. |
|
3:27
And it came to pass,º
when he was come,ºº
that he blewºº
a trumpetº
in the mountainº
of Ephraim,º
and the childrenº
of Israelº
went downºº
withº
him fromº
the mount,º
and heº
beforeº
them. |
|
3:28
And he said to them, Come down after me, for the Lord God has delivered our enemies, even Moab, into our hand; and they went down after him, and seized on the fords of Jordan before Moab, and he did not suffer a man to pass over. |
|
3:28
And he saidºº
untoº
them, Followºº
afterº
me: forº
Yahwehº
hath deliveredººº
your enemiesººº
the Moabitesº
into your hand.º
And they went downºº
afterº
him, and tookººº
the fordsº
of Jordanº
toward Moab,º
and sufferedºº
notº
a manº
to pass over.ºº |
|
3:29
And they smote Moab on that day about ten thousand men, every [lusty] person and every mighty man; and not a man escaped. |
|
3:29
And they slewºº
ofº
Moabº
at thatº
timeº
about tenº
thousandº
men,º
allº
lusty,º
and allº
menº
of valour;º
and there escapedºº
notº
a man.º |
|
3:30
So Moab was humbled in that day under the hand of Israel, and the land had rest eighty years; and Ehud{gr.Aod} judged them till he died. |
|
3:30
So Moabº
was subduedºº
thatº
dayº
underº
the handº
of Israel.º
And the landº
had restºº
fourscoreº
years.º |
|
3:31 ¶
And after him rose up Samegar the son of Dinach, and smote the Philistines to the number of six hundred men with a ploughshare [such as is drawn by] oxen; and he too delivered Israel. |
|
3:31 ¶
And afterº
him wasº
Shamgarº
the sonº
of Anath,º
which slewºº
ofº
the Philistinesº
sixº
hundredº
menº
with an oxº
goad:º
and heº
alsoº
deliveredººº
Israel.º |
