Judges 1:1--3:31

1:1

Now after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Joshua
<03091>

it came to pass, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

asked
<07592> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Who shall go up
<05927> (8799)

for us against the Canaanites
<03669>

first
<08462>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them?

1:2

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Judah
<03063>

shall go up
<05927> (8799)_:

behold, I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

the land
<0776>

into his hand
<03027>_.

1:3

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Simeon
<08095>

his brother
<0251>_,

Come up
<05927> (8798)

with me into my lot
<01486>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

against the Canaanites
<03669>_;

and I likewise will go
<01980> (8804)

with thee into thy lot
<01486>_.

So Simeon
<08095>

went
<03212> (8799)

with him.

1:4

And Judah
<03063>

went up
<05927> (8799)_;

and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

the Canaanites
<03669>

and the Perizzites
<06522>

into their hand
<03027>_:

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

of them in Bezek
<0966>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

1:5

And they found
<04672> (8799)

Adonibezek
<0137>

in Bezek
<0966>_:

and they fought
<03898> (8735)

against him, and they slew
<05221> (8686)

the Canaanites
<03669>

and the Perizzites
<06522>_.

1:6

But Adonibezek
<0137>

fled
<05127> (8799)_;

and they pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and caught
<0270> (8799)

him, and cut off
<07112> (8762)

his thumbs
<0931> <03027>

and his great toes
<07272>_.

1:7

And Adonibezek
<0137>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Threescore and ten
<07657>

kings
<04428>_,

having their thumbs
<0931> <03027>

and their great toes
<07272>

cut off
<07112> (8794)_,

gathered
<03950> (8764)

[their meat] under my table
<07979>_:

as I have done
<06213> (8804)_,

so God
<0430>

hath requited
<07999> (8765)

me. And they brought
<0935> (8686)

him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and there he died
<04191> (8799)_.

{their thumbs...: Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their feet} {gathered: or, gleaned}

1:8

Now the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

had fought
<03898> (8735)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and had taken
<03920> (8799)

it, and smitten
<05221> (8686)

it with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

and set
<07971> (8765)

the city
<05892>

on fire
<0784>_.

1:9

And afterward
<0310>

the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

went down
<03381> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the Canaanites
<03669>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the mountain
<02022>_,

and in the south
<05045>_,

and in the valley
<08219>_.

{valley: or, low country}

1:10

And Judah
<03063>

went
<03212> (8799)

against the Canaanites
<03669>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Hebron
<02275>_:

(now the name
<08034>

of Hebron
<02275>

before
<06440>

[was] Kirjatharba
<07153>:)

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

Sheshai
<08344>_,

and Ahiman
<0289>_,

and Talmai
<08526>_.

1:11

And from thence he went
<03212> (8799)

against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Debir
<01688>_:

and the name
<08034>

of Debir
<01688>

before
<06440>

[was] Kirjathsepher
<07158>_:

1:12

And Caleb
<03612>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

He that smiteth
<05221> (8686)

Kirjathsepher
<07158>_,

and taketh
<03920> (8804)

it, to him will I give
<05414> (8804)

Achsah
<05915>

my daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

1:13

And Othniel
<06274>

the son
<01121>

of Kenaz
<07073>_,

Caleb's
<03612>

younger
<06996>

brother
<0251>_,

took
<03920> (8799)

it: and he gave
<05414> (8799)

him Achsah
<05915>

his daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

1:14

And it came to pass, when she came
<0935> (8800)

[to him], that she moved
<05496> (8686)

him to ask
<07592> (8800)

of her father
<01>

a field
<07704>_:

and she lighted
<06795> (8799)

from off [her] ass
<02543>_;

and Caleb
<03612>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What wilt thou?

1:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Give
<03051> (8798)

me a blessing
<01293>_:

for thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

me a south
<05045>

land
<0776>_;

give
<05414> (8804)

me also springs
<01543>

of water
<04325>_.

And Caleb
<03612>

gave
<05414> (8799)

her the upper
<05942>

springs
<01543>

and the nether
<08482>

springs
<01543>_.

1:16

And the children
<01121>

of the Kenite
<07017>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

went up
<05927> (8804)

out of the city
<05892>

of palm trees
<08558> (8677) <05899>

with the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

into the wilderness
<04057>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which [lieth] in the south
<05045>

of Arad
<06166>_;

and they went
<03212> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<0854>

the people
<05971>_.

1:17

And Judah
<03063>

went
<03212> (8799)

with Simeon
<08095>

his brother
<0251>_,

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

the Canaanites
<03669>

that inhabited
<03427> (8802)

Zephath
<06857>_,

and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)

it. And the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Hormah
<02767>_.

1:18

Also Judah
<03063>

took
<03920> (8799)

Gaza
<05804>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof, and Askelon
<0831>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof, and Ekron
<06138>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof.

1:19

And the LORD
<03068>

was with Judah
<03063>_;

and he drave out
<03423> (8686)

[the inhabitants of] the mountain
<02022>_;

but could not
<03808>

drive out
<03423> (8687)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the valley
<06010>_,

because they had chariots
<07393>

of iron
<01270>_.

{drave...: or, possessed the mountain}

1:20

And they gave
<05414> (8799)

Hebron
<02275>

unto Caleb
<03612>_,

as Moses
<04872>

said
<01696> (8765)_:

and he expelled
<03423> (8686)

thence the three
<07969>

sons
<01121>

of Anak
<06061>_.

1:21

And the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

did not drive out
<03423> (8689)

the Jebusites
<02983>

that inhabited
<03427> (8802)

Jerusalem
<03389>_;

but the Jebusites
<02983>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

with the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

in Jerusalem
<03389>

unto this day
<03117>_.

1:22

And the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

they also went up
<05927> (8799)

against Bethel
<01008>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

[was] with them.

1:23

And the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>

sent to descry
<08446> (8686)

Bethel
<01008>_.

(Now the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

before
<06440>

[was] Luz
<03870>.)

1:24

And the spies
<08104> (8802)

saw
<07200> (8799)

a man
<0376>

come forth
<03318> (8802)

out of the city
<05892>_,

and they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Shew
<07200> (8685)

us, we pray thee, the entrance
<03996>

into the city
<05892>_,

and we will shew
<06213> (8804)

thee mercy
<02617>_.

1:25

And when he shewed
<07200> (8686)

them the entrance
<03996>

into the city
<05892>_,

they smote
<05221> (8686)

the city
<05892>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

but they let go
<07971> (8765)

the man
<0376>

and all his family
<04940>_.

1:26

And the man
<0376>

went
<03212> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the Hittites
<02850>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

a city
<05892>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

thereof Luz
<03870>_:

which [is] the name
<08034>

thereof unto this day
<03117>_.

1:27

Neither did Manasseh
<04519>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

[the inhabitants of] Bethshean
<01052>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor Taanach
<08590>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Dor
<01756>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Ibleam
<02991>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Megiddo
<04023>

and her towns
<01323>_:

but the Canaanites
<03669>

would
<02974> (8686)

dwell
<03427> (8800)

in that land
<0776>_.

1:28

And it came to pass, when Israel
<03478>

was strong
<02388> (8804)_,

that they put
<07760> (8799)

the Canaanites
<03669>

to tribute
<04522>_,

and did not utterly
<03423> (8687)

drive them out
<03423> (8689)_.

1:29

Neither did Ephraim
<0669>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the Canaanites
<03669>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Gezer
<01507>_;

but the Canaanites
<03669>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Gezer
<01507>

among
<07130>

them.

1:30

Neither did Zebulun
<02074>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Kitron
<07003>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Nahalol
<05096>_;

but the Canaanites
<03669>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<07130>

them, and became tributaries
<04522>_.

1:31

Neither did Asher
<0836>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Accho
<05910>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Zidon
<06721>_,

nor of Ahlab
<0303>_,

nor of Achzib
<0392>_,

nor of Helbah
<02462>_,

nor of Aphik
<0663>_,

nor of Rehob
<07340>_:

1:32

But the Asherites
<0843>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<07130>

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_:

for they did not drive them out
<03423> (8689)_.

1:33

Neither did Naphtali
<05321>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Bethanath
<01043>_;

but he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<07130>

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_:

nevertheless the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Bethshemesh
<01053>

and of Bethanath
<01043>

became tributaries
<04522>

unto them.

1:34

And the Amorites
<0567>

forced
<03905> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>

into the mountain
<02022>_:

for they would not suffer
<05414> (8804)

them to come down
<03381> (8800)

to the valley
<06010>_:

1:35

But the Amorites
<0567>

would
<02974> (8686)

dwell
<03427> (8800)

in mount
<02022>

Heres
<02776>

in Aijalon
<0357>_,

and in Shaalbim
<08169>_:

yet the hand
<03027>

of the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>

prevailed
<03513> (8799)_,

so that they became tributaries
<04522>_.

{prevailed: Heb. was heavy}

1:36

And the coast
<01366>

of the Amorites
<0567>

[was] from the going up
<04608>

to Akrabbim
<04610>_,

from the rock
<05553>_,

and upward
<04605>_.

{the going...: or, Maalehacrabbim}

2:1

And an angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

came up
<05927> (8799)

from Gilgal
<01537>

to Bochim
<01066>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I made you to go up
<05927> (8686)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and have brought
<0935> (8686)

you unto the land
<0776>

which I sware
<07650> (8738)

unto your fathers
<01>_;

and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will never
<05769>

break
<06565> (8686)

my covenant
<01285>

with you. {angel: or, messenger}

2:2

And ye shall make
<03772> (8799)

no league
<01285>

with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this land
<0776>_;

ye shall throw down
<05422> (8799)

their altars
<04196>_:

but ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_:

why have ye done
<06213> (8804)

this?

2:3

Wherefore I also said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will not drive them out
<01644> (8762)

from before
<06440>

you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides
<06654>_,

and their gods
<0430>

shall be a snare
<04170>

unto you.

2:4

And it came to pass, when the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8763)

these words
<01697>

unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that the people
<05971>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

2:5

And they called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Bochim
<01066>_:

and they sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

there unto the LORD
<03068>_.

{Bochim: that is, Weepers}

2:6

And when Joshua
<03091>

had let the people
<05971>

go
<07971> (8762)_,

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his inheritance
<05159>

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>_.

2:7

And the people
<05971>

served
<05647> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

all the days
<03117>

of Joshua
<03091>_,

and all the days
<03117>

of the elders
<02205>

that outlived
<0748> (8689) <03117> <0310>

Joshua
<03091>_,

who had seen
<07200> (8804)

all the great
<01419>

works
<04639>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that he did
<06213> (8804)

for Israel
<03478>_.

{outlived: Heb. prolonged days after}

2:8

And Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

died
<04191> (8799)_,

[being] an hundred
<03967>

and ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_.

2:9

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the border
<01366>

of his inheritance
<05159>

in Timnathheres
<08556>_,

in the mount
<02022>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

on the north side
<06828>

of the hill
<02022>

Gaash
<01608>_.

{Timnathhares: also called, Timnathserah}

2:10

And also all that generation
<01755>

were gathered
<0622> (8738)

unto their fathers
<01>_:

and there arose
<06965> (8799)

another
<0312>

generation
<01755>

after
<0310>

them, which knew
<03045> (8804)

not the LORD
<03068>_,

nor yet the works
<04639>

which he had done
<06213> (8804)

for Israel
<03478>_.

2:11

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baalim
<01168>_:

2:12

And they forsook
<05800> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

which brought them out
<03318> (8688)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

of the gods
<0430>

of the people
<05971>

that [were] round about
<05439>

them, and bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD
<03068>

to anger
<03707> (8686)_.

2:13

And they forsook
<05800> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baal
<01168>

and Ashtaroth
<06252>_.

2:14

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was hot
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and he delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hands
<03027>

of spoilers
<08154> (8802)

that spoiled
<08155> (8799)

them, and he sold
<04376> (8799)

them into the hands
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)

round about
<05439>_,

so that they could
<03201> (8804)

not any longer
<05750>

stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

2:15

Whithersoever they went out
<03318> (8804)_,

the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was against them for evil
<07451>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

had said
<01696> (8765)_,

and as the LORD
<03068>

had sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them: and they were greatly
<03966>

distressed
<03334> (8799)_.

2:16

Nevertheless the LORD
<03068>

raised up
<06965> (8686)

judges
<08199> (8802)_,

which delivered
<03467> (8686)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of those that spoiled
<08154> (8802)

them. {delivered: Heb. saved}

2:17

And yet they would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

unto their judges
<08199> (8802)_,

but they went a whoring
<02181> (8804)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves unto them: they turned
<05493> (8804)

quickly
<04118>

out of the way
<01870>

which their fathers
<01>

walked in
<01980> (8804)_,

obeying
<08085> (8800)

the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

[but] they did
<06213> (8804)

not so.

2:18

And when the LORD
<03068>

raised
<06965> (8689)

them up judges
<08199> (8802)_,

then the LORD
<03068>

was with the judge
<08199> (8802)_,

and delivered
<03467> (8689)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)

all the days
<03117>

of the judge
<08199> (8802)_:

for it repented
<05162> (8735)

the LORD
<03068>

because
<06440>

of their groanings
<05009>

by reason of them that oppressed
<03905> (8801)

them and vexed
<01766> (8802)

them.

2:19

And it came to pass, when the judge
<08199> (8802)

was dead
<04194>_,

[that] they returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and corrupted
<07843> (8689)

[themselves] more than their fathers
<01>_,

in following
<03212> (8800) <0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

to serve
<05647> (8800)

them, and to bow down
<07812> (8692)

unto them; they ceased
<05307> (8689)

not from their own doings
<04611>_,

nor from their stubborn
<07186>

way
<01870>_.

{corrupted...: or, were corrupt} {ceased...: Heb. let nothing fall of their}

2:20

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was hot
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because that this people
<01471>

hath transgressed
<05674> (8804)

my covenant
<01285>

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

their fathers
<01>_,

and have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto my voice
<06963>_;

2:21

I also will not henceforth
<03254> (8686)

drive out
<03423> (8687)

any
<0376>

from before
<06440>

them of the nations
<01471>

which Joshua
<03091>

left
<05800> (8804)

when he died
<04191> (8799)_:

2:22

That through them I may prove
<05254> (8763)

Israel
<03478>_,

whether they will keep
<08104> (8802)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>

to walk
<03212> (8800)

therein, as their fathers
<01>

did keep
<08104> (8804)

[it], or not.

2:23

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

left
<03240> (8686)

those nations
<01471>_,

without
<01115>

driving them out
<03423> (8687)

hastily
<04118>_;

neither delivered
<05414> (8804)

he them into the hand
<03027>

of Joshua
<03091>_.

{left: or, suffered}

3:1

Now these [are] the nations
<01471>

which the LORD
<03068>

left
<03240> (8689)_,

to prove
<05254> (8763)

Israel
<03478>

by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known
<03045> (8804)

all the wars
<04421>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

3:2

Only that
<07535>

the generations
<01755>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

might know
<03045> (8800)_,

to teach
<03925> (8763)

them war
<04421>_,

at the least such as before
<06440>

knew
<03045> (8804)

nothing thereof;

3:3

[Namely], five
<02568>

lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and all the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Sidonians
<06722>_,

and the Hivites
<02340>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in mount
<02022>

Lebanon
<03844>_,

from mount
<02022>

Baalhermon
<01179>

unto the entering in
<0935> (8800)

of Hamath
<02574>_.

3:4

And they were to prove
<05254> (8763)

Israel
<03478>

by them, to know
<03045> (8800)

whether they would hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

their fathers
<01>

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_.

3:5

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8804)

among
<07130>

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

Hittites
<02850>_,

and Amorites
<0567>_,

and Perizzites
<06522>_,

and Hivites
<02340>_,

and Jebusites
<02983>_:

3:6

And they took
<03947> (8799)

their daughters
<01323>

to be their wives
<0802>_,

and gave
<05414> (8804)

their daughters
<01323>

to their sons
<01121>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

their gods
<0430>_.

3:7

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and forgat
<07911> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baalim
<01168>

and the groves
<0842>_.

3:8

Therefore the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was hot
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and he sold
<04376> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Chushanrishathaim
<03573>

king
<04428>

of Mesopotamia
<0763>_:

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

served
<05647> (8799)

Chushanrishathaim
<03573>

eight
<08083>

years
<08141>_.

{Mesopotamia: Heb. Aramnaharaim}

3:9

And when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

cried
<02199> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

the LORD
<03068>

raised up
<06965> (8686)

a deliverer
<03467> (8688)

to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

who delivered
<03467> (8686)

them, [even] Othniel
<06274>

the son
<01121>

of Kenaz
<07073>_,

Caleb's
<03612>

younger
<06996>

brother
<0251>_.

{deliverer: Heb. saviour}

3:10

And the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came upon him, and he judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

to war
<04421>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

Chushanrishathaim
<03573>

king
<04428>

of Mesopotamia
<0763>

into his hand
<03027>_;

and his hand
<03027>

prevailed
<05810> (8799)

against Chushanrishathaim
<03573>_.

{came: Heb. was} {Mesopotamia: Heb. Aram}

3:11

And the land
<0776>

had rest
<08252> (8799)

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_.

And Othniel
<06274>

the son
<01121>

of Kenaz
<07073>

died
<04191> (8799)_.

3:12

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

again
<03254> (8686)

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

strengthened
<02388> (8762)

Eglon
<05700>

the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

against Israel
<03478>_,

because they had done
<06213> (8804)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

3:13

And he gathered
<0622> (8799)

unto him the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

and Amalek
<06002>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Israel
<03478>_,

and possessed
<03423> (8799)

the city
<05892>

of palm trees
<08558> (8677) <05899>_.

3:14

So the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

served
<05647> (8799)

Eglon
<05700>

the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

eighteen
<08083> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

3:15

But when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

cried
<02199> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

the LORD
<03068>

raised them up
<06965> (8686)

a deliverer
<03467> (8688)_,

Ehud
<0164>

the son
<01121>

of Gera
<01617>_,

a Benjamite
<01145>_,

a man
<0376>

lefthanded
<0334> <03225>_:

and by him
<03027>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

a present
<04503>

unto Eglon
<05700>

the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_.

{a Benjamite: or, the son of Jemini} {lefthanded: Heb. shut of his right hand}

3:16

But Ehud
<0164>

made
<06213> (8799)

him a dagger
<02719>

which had two
<08147>

edges
<06366>_,

of a cubit
<01574>

length
<0753>_;

and he did gird
<02296> (8799)

it under his raiment
<04055>

upon his right
<03225>

thigh
<03409>_.

3:17

And he brought
<07126> (8686)

the present
<04503>

unto Eglon
<05700>

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and Eglon
<05700>

[was] a very
<03966>

fat
<01277>

man
<0376>_.

3:18

And when he had made an end
<03615> (8765)

to offer
<07126> (8687)

the present
<04503>_,

he sent away
<07971> (8762)

the people
<05971>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the present
<04503>_.

3:19

But he himself turned again
<07725> (8804)

from the quarries
<06456>

that [were] by Gilgal
<01537>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have a secret
<05643>

errand
<01697>

unto thee, O king
<04428>_:

who said
<0559> (8799)_,

Keep silence
<02013> (8761)_.

And all that stood
<05975> (8802)

by him went out
<03318> (8799)

from him. {quarries: or, graven images}

3:20

And Ehud
<0164>

came
<0935> (8804)

unto him; and he was sitting
<03427> (8802)

in a summer
<04747>

parlour
<05944>_,

which he had for himself alone. And Ehud
<0164>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have a message
<01697>

from God
<0430>

unto thee. And he arose
<06965> (8799)

out of [his] seat
<03678>_.

{a summer...: Heb. a parlour of cooling}

3:21

And Ehud
<0164>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

his left
<08040>

hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the dagger
<02719>

from his right
<03225>

thigh
<03409>_,

and thrust
<08628> (8799)

it into his belly
<0990>_:

3:22

And the haft
<05325>

also went in
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

the blade
<03851>_;

and the fat
<02459>

closed
<05462> (8799)

upon
<01157>

the blade
<03851>_,

so that he could not draw
<08025> (8804)

the dagger
<02719>

out of his belly
<0990>_;

and the dirt
<06574>

came out
<03318> (8799)_.

{the dirt...: or, it came out at the buttocks}

3:23

Then Ehud
<0164>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

through the porch
<04528>_,

and shut
<05462> (8799)

the doors
<01817>

of the parlour
<05944>

upon him, and locked
<05274> (8804)

them.

3:24

When he was gone out
<03318> (8804)_,

his servants
<05650>

came
<0935> (8804)_;

and when they saw
<07200> (8799)

that, behold, the doors
<01817>

of the parlour
<05944>

[were] locked
<05274> (8803)_,

they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely he covereth
<05526> (8688)

his feet
<07272>

in his summer
<04747>

chamber
<02315>_.

{covereth...: or, doeth his easement}

3:25

And they tarried
<02342> (8799)

till they were ashamed
<0954> (8800)_:

and, behold, he opened
<06605> (8802)

not the doors
<01817>

of the parlour
<05944>_;

therefore they took
<03947> (8799)

a key
<04668>_,

and opened
<06605> (8799)

[them]: and, behold, their lord
<0113>

[was] fallen down
<05307> (8802)

dead
<04191> (8801)

on the earth
<0776>_.

3:26

And Ehud
<0164>

escaped
<04422> (8738)

while they tarried
<04102> (8699)_,

and passed beyond
<05674> (8804)

the quarries
<06456>_,

and escaped
<04422> (8735)

unto Seirath
<08167>_.

3:27

And it came to pass, when he was come
<0935> (8800)_,

that he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>

in the mountain
<02022>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

went down
<03381> (8799)

with him from the mount
<02022>_,

and he before
<06440>

them.

3:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Follow
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

me: for the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

your enemies
<0341> (8802)

the Moabites
<04124>

into your hand
<03027>_.

And they went down
<03381> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and took
<03920> (8799)

the fords
<04569>

of Jordan
<03383>

toward Moab
<04124>_,

and suffered
<05414> (8804)

not a man
<0376>

to pass over
<05674> (8800)_.

3:29

And they slew
<05221> (8686)

of Moab
<04124>

at that time
<06256>

about ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_,

all lusty
<08082>_,

and all men
<0376>

of valour
<02428>_;
