Othniel, the model judge 7The Israelites did things that the LORD saw as evil, and they forgot the LORD their God. They served the Baals and the Asherahs. 8The LORD became angry with Israel and gave them over to King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram-naharaim. The Israelites served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. 9But then they cried out to the LORD. So the LORD raised up a deliverer for the Israelites, Othniel, Kenaz\u2019s son, Caleb\u2019s younger brother, who rescued them. 10The LORD\u2019s spirit was in Othniel, and he led Israel. When he marched out for war, the LORD handed over Aram\u2019s King Cushan-rishathaim. Othniel overpowered Cushan-rishathaim, 11and the land was peaceful for forty years, until Othniel, Kenaz\u2019s son, died. Ehud 12The Israelites again did things that the LORD saw as evil, and the LORD put Moab\u2019s King Eglon in power over them, because they did these things that the LORD saw as evil. 13He convinced the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him, defeated Israel, and took possession of Palm City. 14So the Israelites served Moab\u2019s King Eglon eighteen years. 15Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD. So the LORD raised up a deliverer for them, Ehud, Gera\u2019s son, a Benjaminite, who was left-handed. The Israelites sent him to take their tribute payment to Moab\u2019s King Eglon. 16Now Ehud made for himself a double-edged sword that was about a foot and a half long, and he strapped it on his right thigh under his clothes. 17Then he presented the tribute payment to Moab\u2019s King Eglon, who was a very fat man. 18When he had finished delivering the tribute payment, Ehud sent on their way the people who had carried it. 19But he himself turned back at the carved stones near Gilgal, and he said, \u201cI have a secret message for you, King.\u201d So Eglon said, \u201cHush!\u201d and all his attendants went out of his presence. 20Ehud approached him while he was sitting alone in his cool second-story room, and he said, \u201cI have a message from God for you.\u201d At that, Eglon got up from his throne. 21Ehud reached with his left hand and grabbed the sword from his right thigh. He stabbed it into Eglon\u2019s stomach, 22and even the handle went in after the blade. Since he did not pull the sword out of his stomach, the fat closed over the blade, and his guts spilled out. 23Ehud slipped out to the porch, and closed and locked the doors of the second-story room behind him. 24After Ehud had slipped out, the king\u2019s servants came and found that the room\u2019s doors were locked. So they thought, He must be relieving himself in the cool chamber. 25They waited so long that they were embarrassed, but he never opened the doors of the room. Then they used the key to open them, and there was their master lying dead on the ground! 26Ehud had gotten away while they were waiting and had passed the carved stones and escaped to Seirah. 27When he arrived, he blew the ram\u2019s horn in the Ephraim highlands. So the Israelites went down from the highlands with Ehud leading them. 28He told them, \u201cFollow me, for the LORD has handed over your enemies the Moabites.\u201d So they followed him, and they took control of the crossing points of the Jordan in the direction of Moab, allowing no one to cross. 29This time, they defeated the Moabites, about ten thousand big and strong men, and no one escaped. 30Moab was brought down by the power of Israel on that day, and there was peace in the land for eighty years. Shamgar 31After Ehud, Shamgar, Anath\u2019s son, struck down six hundred Philistines with an animal prod. He too rescued Israel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2NaeE8zeVU1dU5ZN0phT3NiRWJvXzBuWnRkZ3xBQ3Jtc0tteHlSWF9Wdk85RjBMYzRWZG00a3gwMlhDQUxUZDdWM0o2ZFNyMG9DWW1fTjB4MzBvNk1zNFl0UFhIQlNHUENHWVhqNy1JRWlWcEM0U3dVNFdHeXlFb01kZXFCdEJGc1BnMHhNQ0RybTRVY2I5NzVsOA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1These are the nations that the LORD left to test all those Israelites who had no firsthand knowledge of the wars of Canaan. 2They survived only to teach war to the generations of Israelites who had no firsthand knowledge of the earlier wars: 3the five rulers of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, Sidonians, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1779,1778,6,752,5],"class_list":["post-2152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-youtube","tag-https-www-youtube-com-watchv2qinziv7zyet5s","tag-joshua-3-nations-remaining-in-the-land","tag-thomas-mcneilly","tag-thomas-mcneilly-videos","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2152"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2156,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2152\/revisions\/2156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
