10The 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.
11The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12The 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.
13He gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.
14The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15But 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.
16Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
