7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Ba´alim and the groves.
8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chu´shan–rishatha´im king of Mesopota´mi-a: and the children of Israel served Chu´shan–rishatha´im eight years.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Oth´ni-el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chu´shan–rishatha´im king of Mesopota´mi-a into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chu´shan–rishatha´im.
11 And the land had rest forty years: and Oth´ni-el the son of Kenaz died.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Am´alek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
