Judges 3:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 The Lord left some nations in the land. He left them there in order to put the people of Israel to the test. He did it for all those who hadn't lived through any of the wars in Canaan.
2 He wanted to teach the men in Israel who had never been in battle before. He wanted them to learn how to fight.
3 So he left the five rulers of the Philistines. He left the people of Canaan and the people of Sidon. He left the Hivites who were living in the Lebanon mountains. They lived in the area that was between Mount Baal Hermon and Lebo Hamath.
4 The Lord left those nations where they were in order to put Israel to the test. He wanted to see whether they would obey his commands. He had given those commands through Moses to their people of long ago.
5 So the people of Israel lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
6 They got married to the daughters of those people. They gave their own daughters to the sons of those people. And they served the gods of those people.
7 The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God. They served the gods that were named after Baal. They also served the goddesses that were named after Asherah.
8 So the Lord's anger burned against Israel. He gave them over to the power of Cushan-Rishathaim. He was the king of Aram Naharaim. For eight years Israel was under his rule.
9 They cried out to the Lord. Then he gave them a man to save them. His name was Othniel, the son of Kenaz. He was Caleb's younger brother.
10 The Spirit of the Lord came on Othniel. So he became Israel's leader. He went to war. The Lord handed Cushan-Rishathaim, the king of Aram, over to him. Othniel overpowered him.
11 So the land was at peace for 40 years. Then Othniel, the son of Kenaz, died.
12 Once again the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. Because they did that, the Lord gave Eglon power over Israel. Eglon was the king of Moab.
13 He got the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him. All of them came and attacked Israel. They took over Jericho. Jericho was also known as The City of Palm Trees.
14 For 18 years the people of Israel were under the rule of Eglon, the king of Moab.
15 Again the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. Then he gave them a man to save them. His name was Ehud, the son of Gera. Ehud was left-handed. He was from the tribe of Benjamin. The people of Israel sent Ehud to Eglon, the king of Moab. They sent him to give the king what he required them to bring him.
16 Ehud had made a sword that had two edges. It was about a foot and a half long. He tied it to his right leg under his clothes.
17 Eglon, the king of Moab, was a very fat man. Ehud gave him the gift he had brought.
18 After that, he sent away those who had carried it.
19 At the place where some statues of gods stood near Gilgal, Ehud turned back. He said, "King Eglon, I have a secret message for you." The king said, "I want everyone to be quiet." And all of his attendants left him.
20 Then Ehud approached him. King Eglon was sitting alone in the upstairs room of his summer palace. Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So the king got up from his seat.
21 Then Ehud reached out his left hand. He pulled out the sword that was tied to his right leg. He stuck it into the king's stomach.
22 Even the handle sank in after the blade. The blade came right out the king's back. Ehud didn't pull the sword out. And the fat closed over it.
23 Ehud went out to the porch. He shut the doors of the upstairs room behind him. Then he locked them.
24 After he had gone, the servants came. They found the doors of the upstairs room locked. They said, "Eglon must be going to the toilet in the inside room of the house."
25 They waited for a long time. They waited so long they became worried. But the king still didn't open the doors of the room. So they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their king. He had fallen to the floor. He was dead.
26 While Eglon's servants had been waiting, Ehud had gotten away. He passed by the statues of gods and escaped to Seirah.
27 There in the hill country of Ephraim he blew a trumpet. Then he led the people of Israel down from the hills.
28 "Follow me," Ehud ordered. "The Lord has handed your enemy Moab over to you." So they followed him down. They took over the only places where people could go across the Jordan River to get to Moab. They didn't let anyone go across.
29 At that time they struck down about 10,000 men of Moab. All of those men were strong and powerful. But not even one escaped.
30 That day Moab was brought under the rule of Israel. So the land was at peace for 80 years.
31 After Ehud, Shamgar became the next leader. He was the son of Anath. He struck down 600 Philistines with a large, pointed stick that was used to drive oxen. He saved Israel too.
1 Now these H428 W-PMP are the nations H1471 D-NMP which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS left H5117 , to prove H5254 Israel H3478 by them , even as many H3605 NMS of Israel as had not H3808 ADV known H3045 VQQ3MP all H3605 NMS the wars H4421 of Canaan H3667 LMS ;
2 Only H7535 ADV that H4616 L-CONJ the generations H1755 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 might know H3045 , to teach H3925 them war H4421 NFS , at the least H7535 ADV such as H834 RPRO before H6440 L-NMP knew H3045 nothing H3808 NADV thereof ;
3 Namely , five H2568 lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 , and all H3605 W-CMS the Canaanites H3669 , and the Sidonians H6722 , and the Hivites H2340 that dwelt H3427 VQPMS in mount H2022 CMS Lebanon H3844 , from mount H2022 Baal H1179 - hermon unto H5704 PREP the entering in H935 of Hamath H2574 .
4 And they were H1961 to prove H5254 Israel H3478 by them , to know H3045 L-VQFC whether they would hearken H8085 unto the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO he commanded H6680 VPQ3MS their fathers H1 CMP-3MP by the hand H3027 B-CFS of Moses H4872 .
5 And the children H1121 W-CMP of Israel H3478 dwelt H3427 VQQ3MP among H7130 the Canaanites H3669 , Hittites H2850 , and Amorites H567 , and Perizzites H6522 WD-EMS , and Hivites H2340 , and Jebusites H2983 :
6 And they took H3947 W-VQY3MP their daughters H1323 to be their wives H802 , and gave H5414 their daughters H1323 to their sons H1121 , and served H5647 their gods H430 .
7 And the children H1121 CMP of Israel H3478 did H6213 W-VQY3MP evil H7451 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , and forgot H7911 the LORD H3068 EDS their God H430 , and served H5647 Baalim H1168 and the groves H842 .
8 Therefore the anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS was hot H2734 against Israel H3478 , and he sold H4376 them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of Cushan H3573 - rishathaim king H4428 NMS of Mesopotamia H763 : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 served H5647 Cushan H3573 - rishathaim eight H8083 MFS years H8141 .
9 And when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H2199 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , the LORD H3068 EDS raised up H6965 a deliverer H3467 to the children H1121 L-CMP of Israel H3478 , who delivered H3467 them , even Othniel H6274 the son H1121 of Kenaz H7073 , Caleb H3612 \'s younger H6996 D-AMS brother H251 CMS .
10 And the Spirit H7307 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VQY3FS upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and he judged H8199 Israel H3478 , and went out H3318 W-VQY3MS to war H4421 : and the LORD H3068 EDS delivered H5414 W-VQQ3MS Cushan H3573 - rishathaim king H4428 NMS of Mesopotamia H763 into his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS ; and his hand H3027 CFS-3MS prevailed H5810 against H5921 PREP-3MS Cushan H3573 - rishathaim .
11 And the land H776 D-GFS had rest H8252 forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS . And Othniel H6274 the son H1121 of Kenaz H7073 died H4191 W-VQY3MS .
12 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 L-VQFC evil H7451 again H3254 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS : and the LORD H3068 EDS strengthened H2388 Eglon H5700 the king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 against H5921 PREP Israel H3478 , because H5921 PREP they had done H6213 VQQ3MP evil H7451 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
13 And he gathered H622 unto H413 PREP-3MS him the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 and Amalek H6002 , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS Israel H3478 , and possessed H3423 the city H5892 GFS of palm trees H8558 .
14 So the children H1121 of Israel H3478 served H5647 Eglon H5700 the king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 eighteen H8083 years H8141 NFS .
15 But when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H2199 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , the LORD H3068 EDS raised them up H6965 a deliverer H3467 , Ehud H261 the son H1121 CMP of Gera H1617 , a Benjamite H1121 , a man H376 NMS left H334 - handed : and by him H3027 CFS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 a present H4503 NFS unto Eglon H5700 the king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 .
16 But Ehud H261 made H6213 W-VQY3MS him a dagger H2719 GFS which had two H8147 ONUM edges H6366 , of a cubit H1574 length H753 ; and he did gird H2296 it under H8478 M-CFS his raiment H4055 upon H5921 PREP his right H3225 thigh H3409 .
17 And he brought H7126 the present H4503 unto Eglon H5700 king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 : and Eglon H5700 was a very H3966 ADV fat H1277 man H376 NMS .
18 And when H834 K-RPRO he had made an end H3615 to offer H7126 the present H4503 , he sent away H7971 W-VPY3MS the people H5971 that bore H5375 the present H4503 .
19 But he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS himself turned again H7725 VQQ3MS from H4480 PREP the quarries H6456 that H834 RPRO were by H854 PREP Gilgal H1537 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I have a secret H5643 errand H1697 CMS unto thee , O king H4428 D-NMS : who said H559 W-VQY3MS , Keep silence H2013 . And all H3605 NMS that stood H5975 by him went out H3318 from him .
20 And Ehud H261 came H935 VQPMS unto H413 PREP-3MS him ; and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was sitting H3427 VQPMS in a summer H4747 parlor H5944 , which H834 RPRO he had for himself alone H905 L-CMS-3MS . And Ehud H261 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I have a message H1697 CMS from God H430 EDP unto H413 PREP-2MS thee . And he arose H6965 W-VQY3MS out of M-PREP his seat H3678 .
21 And Ehud H261 put forth W-VQY3MS his left H8040 hand H3027 CFS , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS the dagger H2719 D-GFS from M-PREP his right H3225 CFS-3MS thigh H3409 , and thrust H8628 it into his belly H990 :
22 And the haft H5325 also H1571 CONJ went in H935 W-VQY3MS after H310 ADV the blade H3851 ; and the fat H2459 closed H5462 W-VQY3MS upon H1157 PREP the blade H3851 , so that H3588 CONJ he could not H3808 NADV draw H8025 VQQ3MS the dagger H2719 D-GFS out of his belly H990 M-CFS-3MS ; and the dirt H6574 came out H3318 W-VQY3MS .
23 Then Ehud H261 went forth H3318 W-VQY3MS through the porch H4528 , and shut H5462 W-VQY3MS the doors H1817 of the parlor H5944 upon him H1157 , and locked H5274 them .
24 When he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was gone out H3318 VQQ3MS , his servants H5650 W-CMS-3MS came H935 VQQ3MP ; and when they saw H7200 W-VQY3MP that , behold H2009 IJEC , the doors H1817 of the parlor H5944 were locked H5274 , they said H559 W-VQY3MP , Surely H389 ADV he H1931 PPRO-3MS covereth H5526 his feet H7272 in his summer H4747 chamber H2315 .
25 And they tarried H2342 till H5704 PREP they were ashamed H954 : and , behold H2009 IJEC , he opened H6605 not H369 the doors H1817 of the parlor H5944 ; therefore they took H3947 W-VQY3MP a key H4668 , and opened H6605 them : and , behold H2009 IJEC , their lord H113 was fallen down H5307 VQPMS dead H4191 on the earth H776 NFS-3FS .
26 And Ehud H261 escaped H4422 while H5704 PREP they tarried H4102 , and passed beyond H5674 VQQ3MS the quarries H6456 , and escaped H4422 unto Seirath H8167 .
27 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when he was come H935 , that he blew H8628 a trumpet H7782 in the mountain H2022 of Ephraim H669 , and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went down H3381 with H5973 PREP-3MS him from H4480 PREP the mount H2022 , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS before H6440 them .
28 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Follow H7291 after H310 me : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath delivered H5414 VQQ3MS your enemies H341 the Moabites H4124 into your hand H3027 B-CFS-2MP . And they went down H3381 after H310 PREP-3MS him , and took H3920 the fords H4569 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS toward Moab H4124 , and suffered H5414 not H3808 W-NPAR a man H376 NMS to pass over H5674 .
29 And they slew H5221 W-VHY3MP of Moab H4124 at that H1931 time H6256 about ten H6235 thousand H505 MMP men H376 NMS , all H3605 NMS lusty H8082 , and all H3605 NMS men H376 NMS of valor H2428 ; and there escaped H4422 not H3808 W-NPAR a man H376 NMS .
30 So Moab H4124 was subdued H3665 that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS under H8478 NMS the hand H3027 CFS of Israel H3478 . And the land H776 D-GFS had rest H8252 fourscore H8084 years H8141 NFS .
31 And after H310 W-PREP-3MS him was H1961 VQQ3MS Shamgar H8044 the son H1121 of Anath H6067 , which slew H5221 W-VHY3MS of the Philistines H6430 TMS six H8337 hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS with an ox H1241 D-NMS goad H4451 : and he H1931 PPRO-3MS also H1571 CONJ delivered H3467 W-VHY3MS Israel H3478 LMS .
