1: And these [are]_H0428 the nations_H1471 which_H0834 left_H3240 Yahweh_H3068 that He might test_H5254 -_H0853 Israel_H3478 -_H0853 [that is] all_H3605 who_H0834 not_H3808 had known_H3045 -_H0853 any_H3605 of the wars in_H4421 Canaan-_H3667

2: [this was] only_H7535 so that_H4616 to know_H1847 the generations_H1755 of the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 might be taught_H3925 war,_H4421 at least_H7535 those who_H0834 formerly_H6440 not_H3808 had known it,_H3045

3: [namely] five_H2568 lords_H5633 of the Philistines,_H6430 and all_H3605 the Canaanite,_H3669 and the Sidonian,_H6722 and the Hivite_H2340 that dwelt_H3427 in Mount_H2022 Lebanon,_H3844 from Mount_H2022 Baal Hermon_H1179 to_H5704 the entrance_H0935 of Hamath._H2574

4: And they were [left]_H1961 [that He might] test_H5254 -_H0853 Israel_H3478 to know_H3045 whether they would obey_H8085 -_H0853 the commandments_H4687 of Yahweh,_H3068 which_H0834 He had commanded_H6680 -_H0853 their fathers_H0001 by the hand_H3027 of Moses._H4872

5: Thus the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 dwelt_H3427 among_H7130 the Canaanite,_H3669 the Hittite,_H2850 and the Amorite,_H0567 and the Perizzite,_H6522 and the Hivite,_H2340 and the Jebusite-_H2983

6: and they took_H3947 -_H0853 their daughters_H1323 to be their_H1992 wives,_H0802 and_H0853 their daughters_H1323 gave_H5414 to their sons,_H1121 and they served_H5647 -_H0853 their gods._H0430

7: So did_H6213 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 -_H0853 evil_H7451 in the sight_H5869 of Yahweh,_H3068 and they forgot_H7911 -_H0853 Yahweh_H3068 their God,_H0430 and served_H5647 -_H0853 Baals_H1168 and_H0853 the Asherahs._H0842

8: Therefore was hot_H2734 the anger_H0639 of Yahweh_H3068 against Israel,_H3478 and He sold them_H4376 into the hand_H3027 Cushan-rishathaim_H3573 king_H4428 Mesopotamia-_H0763 and served_H5647 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 -_H0853 Cushan-rishathaim_H3573 eight_H8083 years._H8141

9: And when cried out_H2199 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 to_H0413 Yahweh,_H3068 and raised up_H6965 Yahweh_H3068 a deliverer_H3467 for the sons_H1121 of Israel,_H3478 and who delivered them_H3467 -_H0853 Othniel_H6274 the son_H1121 of Kenaz,_H7073 brother._H0251 Of Caleb_H3612 younger_H6996 from._H4480

10: And came_H1961 upon him_H5921 the Spirit_H7307 of Yahweh_H3068 and he judged_H8199 -_H0853 Israel,_H3478 and He went out_H3318 to war,_H4421 and delivered_H5414 Yahweh_H3068 into his hand-_H3027 -_H0853 Cushan-rishathaim_H3573 king_H4428 of Syria_H0758 and prevailed_H5810 his hand_H3027 over_H5921 Cushan-rishathaim._H3573

11: So had rest_H8252 the land_H0776 forty_H0705 for years._H8141 And died._H4191 Othniel_H6274 son_H1121 of Kenaz._H7073

12: And again_H3254 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 did_H6213 evil_H7451 in the sight_H5869 of Yahweh._H3068 So strengthened_H2388 Yahweh_H3068 -_H0853 Eglon_H5700 the king_H4428 of Moab_H4124 against_H5921 Israel,_H3478 because_H5921 that_H3588 they had done_H6213 -_H0853 evil_H7451 in the sight_H5869 of Yahweh._H3068

13: And he gathered_H0622 to himself_H0413 -_H0853 the sons_H1121 of Ammon_H5983 and Amalek,_H6002 and went_H1980 and defeated_H5221 -_H0853 Israel,_H3478 and took possession_H3423 of_H0853 the city_H5892 Palm City._H8558

14: So served_H5647 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 -_H0853 Eglon_H5700 king_H4428 of Moab_H4124 eight_H8083 [and] ten_H6240 years._H8141

15: But when cried out_H2199 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 to_H0413 Yahweh,_H3068 and raised up_H6965 Yahweh_H3068 a deliverer,_H3467 -_H0853 Ehud_H0164 son_H1121 of Gera,_H1617 the Benjamite_H1145 a man_H0376 restricted_H0334 hand_H3027 right_H3225 and sent_H7971 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 by him_H3027 tribute_H4503 to Eglon_H5700 king_H4428 of Moab._H4124

16: And made_H6213 Ehud_H0164 a dagger_H2719 two_H8147 edges,_H6366 and a cubit_H1574 in length-_H0753 and fastened_H2296 it_H0853 under_H8478 under his clothes_H4055 on_H5921 thigh_H3409 his right._H3225

17: So he brought_H7126 -_H0853 the tribute_H4503 to Eglon_H5700 king_H4428 of Moab_H4124 and Eglon [was]_H5700 a man._H0376 Fat_H1277 very._H3966

18: And he had_H1961 when_H0834 finished_H3615 presenting_H7126 -_H0853 the tribute,_H4503 and he sent away_H7971 -_H0853 the people_H5971 who had carried_H5375 the tribute._H4503

19: But he_H1931 himself turned back_H7725 from_H4480 the stone images_H6456 that [were]_H0834 at_H0854 Gilgal,_H1537 and said,_H0559 a message_H1697 secret_H5643 for you_H0413 king._H4428 And He said,_H0559 Keep silence._H2013 And went out_H3318 from him_H5921 all_H3605 who attended_H5975 him._H5921

20: And Ehud_H0164 came_H0935 to him_H0413 and he_H1931 was sitting_H3427 in upstairs chamber,_H5944 cool_H4747 that_H0834 private._H0905 And said,_H0559 Ehud_H0164 a message_H1697 from God_H0430 for you_H0413 so he arose_H6965 from_H5921 [his] seat._H3678

21: And reached_H7971 Ehud_H0164 with_H0853 hand,_H3027 his left_H8040 and took_H3947 -_H0853 the dagger_H2719 from_H5921 thigh,_H3409 his right_H3225 and thrust it_H8628 into his belly._H0990

22: And went in_H0935 Even_H1571 the hilt_H5325 after_H0310 the blade-_H3851 and closed_H5462 the fat_H2459 over_H1157 the blade,_H3851 for_H3588 not_H3808 he did draw_H8025 the dagger_H2719 out of his belly-_H0990 and came out_H3318 his entrails._H6574

23: And went out_H3318 Ehud_H0164 through the porch,_H4528 and shut_H5462 the doors_H1817 of the upper room_H5944 behind him_H5774 and locked them._H5274

24: And when he_H1931 had gone out,_H3318 and Eglon's servants_H5650 came-_H0935 and to look_H7200 and [to their] surprise,_H2009 the doors_H1817 of the upper room_H5944 were locked,_H5274 so they said,_H0559 probably_H0389 is attending to_H5526 He_H1931 -_H0853 his needs_H7272 in chamber_H2315 the cool._H4747

25: So they waited_H2342 till_H5704 they were embarrassed-_H0954 and still,_H2009 not_H0369 he had opened_H6605 the doors_H1817 of the upper room-_H5944 therefore they took_H3947 -_H0853 the key,_H4668 and opened [them]_H6605 and there was,_H2009 their master_H0113 fallen_H5307 on the floor_H0776 dead._H4191

26: But Ehud_H0164 had escaped_H4422 while_H5704 they delayed,_H4102 and he_H1931 passed beyond_H5674 -_H0853 the stone images,_H6456 and escaped_H4422 to Seirah._H8167

27: And it came to pass,_H1961 when he arrived,_H0935 that he blew_H8628 the trumpet_H7782 in the mountains_H2022 of Ephraim,_H0669 and went down_H3381 with him_H5973 the sons_H1121 of Israel_H3478 from_H4480 the mountains,_H2022 and he [was]_H1931 before them._H6440
