⁵^cThus the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. ⁶And ^dthey took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods.

Othniel

⁷So the children of Israel did ^eevil in the sight of the Lord. They ^fforgot the Lord their God, and served the Baals and ³Asherahs. ⁸Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He ^gsold them into the hand of ^hCushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years. ⁹When the children of Israel ⁱcried out to the Lord, the Lord ^jraised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: ^kOthniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. ¹⁰^lThe Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim. ¹¹So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
