10 And the spirit of Yahweh came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and Yahweh gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and he prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.
11 So the land rested forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.
12 And again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. So Yahweh strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and Amalekites, and he went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the city of palms.
14 And the Israelites served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
15 And the Israelites cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjaminite and a left-handed man. And the Israelites sent a tribute to Eglon king of Moab through him.
16 Ehud made for himself a short, two-edged sword (a cubit in length), and he fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.
