Judges 3:5–11

^5dAnd the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites: ⁶And ^e*they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. ^7fAnd the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, ^gand served Baalim and ^hthe groves. ⁸Therefore ⁱthe anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he ⁱsold them into the hand of ^kChushan-rishathaim king of ^†Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years. ⁹And when the children of Israel ^lcried unto the Lord, the Lord ^mraised up a ^†*deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even ⁿOthniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. ¹⁰And ^othe Spirit of the Lord ^†came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of ^†Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim. ¹¹And ^pthe land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
