  • Judg 3:8-9 : 8 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Aram Naharaim. The Israelites served Cushan-Rishathaim for eight years. 9 When the Israelites cried out to the Lord, He raised up a deliverer for them, Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Aram, into his hand, giving him victory over Cushan-Rishathaim. 11 The land had peace for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died. 12 The Israelites again did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord gave strength to Eglon, king of Moab, to overpower Israel because they had done evil in the Lord's sight. 13 Eglon gathered the Ammonites and Amalekites to himself, set out, and defeated Israel. They took possession of the City of Palms. 14 The Israelites served Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years. 15 Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and He raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite, a left-handed man. The Israelites sent him to deliver their tribute to Eglon, king of Moab. 16 Now Ehud had made a double-edged sword about a cubit long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. 17 He presented the tribute to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man. 18 After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he dismissed the people who had carried it. 19 But he himself turned back at the carved images near Gilgal and said, 'I have a secret message for you, O king.' The king said, 'Silence!' And all his attendants left him. 20 Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace, a room designed to stay cool. Ehud said, 'I have a word from God for you.' As the king rose from his seat, 21 Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh, and drove it into the king's belly. 22 Even the handle went in after the blade, and the fat closed over it, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly. And the excrement came out. 23 Then Ehud went out onto the porch, closed the doors of the upper room behind him, and locked them. 24 After he was gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, 'He must be relieving himself in the cool inner room.' 25 They waited to the point of embarrassment, but he still did not open the doors of the room. So they took the key and unlocked them, and there was their master fallen to the ground, dead. 26 While they lingered, Ehud escaped, passed by the carved images, and fled to Seirah. 27 When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them. 28 He said to them, 'Follow me, for the Lord has given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hands.' So they followed him, captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over. 29 At that time, they struck down about ten thousand Moabite men, all strong and able-bodied; not a single one escaped. 30 That day Moab was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace for eighty years.

    28But as soon as they had rest, they returned to doing evil in Your sight. So You abandoned them to their enemies, who ruled over them. Yet when they again cried out to You, You heard from heaven and rescued them many times in Your abundant mercy.

    29You warned them to return to Your law, but they acted arrogantly and did not obey Your commandments. They sinned against Your judgments, which, if a person does, they will live by them. Stubbornly, they turned their backs, stiffened their necks, and would not listen.
