Othniel Delivers Israel

Judges 3:7-11

3
Chapter 3
7 The Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs. 8 The LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram of the Two Rivers, and the Israelites served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. 9 The Israelites cried out to the LORD, and the LORD raised up a savior for the Israelites, who saved them—Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 10 The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the LORD gave Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim. 11 The land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.
