| [1]These are the nations whiche the Lorde left, that he might proue Israel by them: (euen as many of Israel as had not knowen al the warres of Chanaan |
[1]Now these are the nations which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan; |
| [2]Onely for the learning of the generations of the childre of Israel that he also might teach them warre, onely such as before knewe nothing therof. |
[2]Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof; |
| [3]Of those whom he left, there were fiue lordes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonites, & the Heuites that dwelt in mount Libanon, euen from mount Baal Hermon, vnto one come to Hamath |
[3]Namely, the five lords of Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath. |
| [4]Those remayned to proue Israel by, and to wyt whether they would hearken vnto the commaundementes of the Lorde, which he commaunded their fathers by the hande of Moyses |
[4]And they were there, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, which He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. |
| [5]And the children of Israel dwelt among the Chanaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Pherezites, Heuites, and Iebusites |
[5]And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites; |
| [6]And toke the daughters of them to be their wiues, & gaue their own daughters to their sonnes, and serued their goddes |
[6]And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods. |
| [7]And the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lorde, and forgat the Lorde their God, and serued Baalim and Astheroth |
[7]And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and forgot 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth. |
| [8]Therfore the Lorde was angry with Israel, and he solde them into the handes of Chusan Risathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel serued Chusan Risathaim eyght yeres |
[8]Therefore the anger of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 was kindled against Israel, and He gave them over into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. |
| [9]And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lorde, the Lorde stirred vp a sauer to the children of Israel, & saued them, euen Othoniel the sonne of Kenes, Calebs younger brother |
[9]And when the children of Israel cried unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. |
| [10]And the spirite of the Lorde came vpon him, and he iudged Israel, & went out to warre: And the Lorde deliuered Chusan Risathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hande, and his hande preuayled against Chusan Risathaim |
[10]And the spirit of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim. |
| [11]And the land had rest fourtie yeres: and Othoniel the sonne of Kenes died |
[11]And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died. |
| [12]And the children of Israel agayne committed wickednes in the sight of the Lorde: And the Lorde strengthed Eglon the king of the Moabites, against the children of Israel, because they had committed wickednes before the Lorde |
[12]And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
| [13]And this [Eglon] gathered vnto him the children of Ammon, and the Amalekites, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the citie of Panlme trees |
[13]And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees. |
| [14]And so the children of Israel serued Eglon the king of Moab 18 yeres |
[14]And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. |
| [15]But when they cryed vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred them vp a sauer, Ahud the sonne of Gera the sonne of Gemini, a man lame of his right hande: and by him the children of Israel sent a present vnto Eglon the king of Moab |
[15]But when the children of Israel cried unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed; and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab. |
| [16]But Ahud made him a dagger with two edges, of a cubite length, and he did gyrde it vnto his raymet vpon his right thygh |
[16]And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh. |
| [17]And caried the present vnto Eglon the king of Moab: (And Eglon was a very fatte man. |
[17]And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab—now Eglon was a very fat man. |
| [18]And when he had presented the present, he sent the people that bare it away |
[18]And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bore the present. |
| [19]But he him selfe turned agayne (from the place of grauen images, that was by Gilgal) and sayde: I haue a secret errande vnto thee, O king. Which sayde: Kepe scilence. And all that stoode before hym, went out from him |
[19]But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said: 'I have a secret errand unto thee, O king.' And he said: 'Keep silence.' And all that stood by him went out from him. |
| [20]And Ahud came vnto him, and in a sommer parler whiche he had, sate he him selfe alone: and Ahud sayd, I haue a message vnto thee from God. And he arose out of his seate |
[20]And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his cool upper chamber. And Ehud said: 'I have a message from God unto thee.' And he arose out of his seat. |
| [21]And Ahud put foorth his left hande, & toke the dagger from his right thygh, and thrust it into his belly |
[21]And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. |
| [22]And the hafte went in after the blade: and the fatte closed the haft, so that he might not drawe the dagger out of his belly, but the dyrt came out |
[22]And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind. |
| [23]Then Ahud gat him out into the porche, and shut the doores of the parler vpon him, and locked them |
[23]Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and locked them. |
| [24]When he was gone out, his seruauntes came: And when they sawe that the doores of the parler were locked, they sayde, Suerly he couereth his feete in his sommer chamber |
[24]Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they, said: 'Surely he is covering his feet in the cabinet of the cool chamber.' |
| [25]And they taried till they were ashamed, and seyng he opened not the doores of the parler, they toke a key and opened them: And beholde, their Lorde was fallen downe dead on the earth |
[25]And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; therefore they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. |
| [26]And Ahud escaped whyle they taried and was gone beyonde, to the place of the grauen images, and escaped into Seirath |
[26]And Ehud escaped while they lingered, having passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah. |
| [27]And when he was come, he blewe a trumpet in mount Ephraim: And the childre of Israel went downe with him from the hill, and he went before them |
[27]And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them. |
| [28]And he sayde vnto them, folowe me: for the Lorde hath deliuered your enemies the Moabites into your hande. And they descended after him, and toke the passages of Iordane toward Moab, and suffered not a man to passe ouer |
[28]And he said unto them: 'Follow after me; for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.' And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over. |
| [29]And they slue of the Moabites the same time vpon a ten thousande men, which were all fatte, & men of warre, and there scaped not a man |
[29]And they smote of Moab at that time about thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man. |
| [30]So Moab was subdued that day vnder the hande of Israel: And the lande had rest fourescore yeres |
[30]So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years. |
| [31]After him was Samgar the sonne of Anath, whiche slue of the Philistines sixe hundred men with an oxe goade, and deliuered Israel also |
[31]And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also saved Israel. |
