Judges 3

KJV

1  Now these428 are the nations1471 which834 the LORD3068 left,5117 to prove5254 853 Israel3478 by them, even 853 as many3605 834 of Israel as had not3808 known3045 853 all3605 the wars4421 of Canaan;3667

2  Only7535 that4616 the generations1755 of the children1121 of Israel3478 might know,3045 to teach3925 them war,4421 at the least7535 such as834 before6440 knew3045 nothing3808 thereof;

3  Namely, five2568 lords5633 of the Philistines,6430 and all3605 the Canaanites,3669 and the Sidonians,6722 and the Hivites2340 that dwelt3427 in mount2022 Lebanon,3844 from mount4480 2022 Baal-hermon1179 unto5704 the entering in935 of Hamath.2574

4  And they were1961 to prove5254 853 Israel3478 by them, to know3045 whether they would hearken8085 unto 853 the commandments4687 of the LORD,3068 which834 he commanded6680 853 their fathers1 by the hand3027 of Moses.4872

5  And the children1121 of Israel3478 dwelt3427 among7130 the Canaanites,3669 Hittites,2850 and Amorites,567 and Perizzites,6522 and Hivites,2340 and Jebusites:2983

6  And they took3947 853 their daughters1323 to be their wives,802 and gave5414 their daughters1323 to their sons,1121 and served5647 853 their gods.430

7  And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 853 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 and forgot7911 853 the LORD3068 their God,430 and served5647 853 Baalim1168 and the groves.842

8  Therefore the anger639 of the LORD3068 was hot2734 against Israel,3478 and he sold4376 them into the hand3027 of Cushan-rishathaim3573 king4428 of Mesopotamia:763 and the children1121 of Israel3478 served5647 853 Cushan-rishathaim3573 eight8083 years.8141

9  And when the children1121 of Israel3478 cried2199 unto413 the LORD,3068 the LORD3068 raised up6965 a deliverer3467 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 who delivered3467 them, even 853 Othniel6274 the son1121 of Kenaz,7073 Caleb's3612 younger6996 brother.251

10  And the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 came1961 upon5921 him, and he judged8199 853 Israel,3478 and went out3318 to war:4421 and the LORD3068 delivered5414 853 Cushan-rishathaim3573 king4428 of Mesopotamia763 into his hand;3027 and his hand3027 prevailed5810 against5921 Cushan-rishathaim.3573

11  And the land776 had rest8252 forty705 years.8141 And Othniel6274 the son1121 of Kenaz7073 died.4191

12  And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 evil7451 again3254 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 and the LORD3068 strengthened2388 853 Eglon5700 the king4428 of Moab4124 against5921 Israel,3478 because5921 3588 they had done6213 853 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068

13  And he gathered622 unto413 him 853 the children1121 of Ammon5983 and Amalek,6002 and went1980 and smote5221 853 Israel,3478 and possessed3423 853 the city5892 of palm trees.8558

14  So the children1121 of Israel3478 served5647 853 Eglon5700 the king4428 of Moab4124 eighteen8083 6240 years.8141

15  But when the children1121 of Israel3478 cried2199 unto413 the LORD,3068 the LORD3068 raised them up6965 a deliverer,3467 853 Ehud261 the son1121 of Gera,1617 a Benjamite,1121 1145 a man376 left-handed:334 3027 3225 and by him3027 the children1121 of Israel3478 sent7971 a present4503 unto Eglon5700 the king4428 of Moab.4124

16  But Ehud261 made6213 him a dagger2719 which had two8147 edges,6366 of a cubit1574 length;753 and he did gird2296 it under4480 8478 his raiment4055 upon5921 his right3225 thigh.3409

17  And he brought7126 853 the present4503 unto Eglon5700 king4428 of Moab:4124 and Eglon5700 was a very3966 fat1277 man.376

18  And when834 he had made an end3615 to offer7126 853 the present,4503 he sent away7971 853 the people5971 that bore5375 the present.4503

19  But he1931 himself turned again7725 from4480 the quarries6456 that834 were by854 Gilgal,1537 and said,559 I have a secret5643 errand1697 unto thee, O king:4428 who said,559 Keep silence.2013 And all3605 that stood5975 by him went out3318 from4480 5921 him.

20  And Ehud261 came935 unto413 him; and he1931 was sitting3427 in a summer4747 parlor,5944 which834 he had for himself alone.905 And Ehud261 said,559 I have a message1697 from God430 unto413 thee. And he arose6965 out of4480 5921 his seat.3678

21  And Ehud261 put forth7971 853 his left8040 hand,3027 and took3947 853 the dagger2719 from4480 5921 his right3225 thigh,3409 and thrust8628 it into his belly:990

22  And the haft5325 also1571 went in935 after310 the blade;3851 and the fat2459 closed5462 upon1157 the blade,3851 so that3588 he could not3808 draw8025 the dagger2719 out of his belly;4480 990 and the dirt6574 came out.3318

23  Then Ehud261 went forth3318 through the porch,4528 and shut5462 the doors1817 of the parlor5944 upon him,1157 and locked5274 them.

24  When he1931 was gone out,3318 his servants5650 came;935 and when they saw7200 that, behold,2009 the doors1817 of the parlor5944 were locked,5274 they said,559 Surely389 he1931 covereth5526 853 his feet7272 in his summer4747 chamber.2315

25  And they tarried2342 till5704 they were ashamed:954 and, behold,2009 he opened6605 not369 the doors1817 of the parlor;5944 therefore they took3947 853 a key,4668 and opened6605 them: and, behold,2009 their lord113 was fallen down5307 dead4191 on the earth.776

26  And Ehud261 escaped4422 while5704 they tarried,4102 and passed beyond5674 853 the quarries,6456 and escaped4422 unto Seirath.8167

27  And it came to pass,1961 when he was come,935 that he blew8628 a trumpet7782 in the mountain2022 of Ephraim,669 and the children1121 of Israel3478 went down3381 with5973 him from4480 the mount,2022 and he1931 before6440 them.

28  And he said559 unto413 them, Follow7291 after310 me: for3588 the LORD3068 hath delivered5414 853 your enemies341 853 the Moabites4124 into your hand.3027 And they went down3381 after310 him, and took3920 853 the fords4569 of Jordan3383 toward Moab,4124 and suffered5414 not3808 a man376 to pass over.5674

29  And they slew5221 of 853 Moab4124 at that1931 time6256 about ten6235 thousand505 men,376 all3605 lusty,8082 and all3605 men376 of valor;2428 and there escaped4422 not3808 a man.376

30  So Moab4124 was subdued3665 that1931 day3117 under8478 the hand3027 of Israel.3478 And the land776 had rest8252 fourscore8084 years.8141

31  And after310 him was1961 Shamgar8044 the son1121 of Anath,6067 which slew5221 of 853 the Philistines6430 six8337 hundred3967 men376 with an ox1241 goad:4451 and he1931 also1571 delivered3467 853 Israel.3478

1 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ἔθνη ἃ ἀφῆκεν κύριος αὐτὰ ὥστε πειράσαι ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν Ισραηλ πάντας τοὺς μὴ ἐγνωκότας τοὺς πολέμους Χανααν

2 πλὴν διὰ τὰς γενεὰς υἱῶν Ισραηλ τοῦ διδάξαι αὐτοὺς πόλεμον πλὴν οἱ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔγνωσαν αὐτά

3 τὰς πέντε σατραπείας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ πάντα τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Σιδώνιον καὶ τὸν Ευαῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὸν Λίβανον ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Αερμων ἕως Λαβωεμαθ

4 καὶ ἐγένετο ὥστε πειράσαι ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν Ισραηλ γνῶναι εἰ ἀκούσονται τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου ἃς ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ

5 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ κατῴκησαν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τοῦ Αμορραίου καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου καὶ τοῦ Ευαίου καὶ τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου

6 καὶ ἔλαβον τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἑαυτοῖς εἰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἔδωκαν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν

7 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ ἐπελάθοντο κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς Βααλιμ καὶ τοῖς ἄλσεσιν

8 καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Χουσαρσαθαιμ βασιλέως Συρίας ποταμῶν καὶ ἐδούλευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τῷ Χουσαρσαθαιμ ἔτη ὀκτώ

9 καὶ ἐκέκραξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἤγειρεν κύριος σωτῆρα τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτούς τὸν Γοθονιηλ υἱὸν Κενεζ ἀδελφοῦ Χαλεβ τὸν νεώτερον ὑπὲρ αὐτόν

10 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς Χουσαρσαθαιμ καὶ παρέδωκεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν Χουσαρσαθαιμ βασιλέα Συρίας ποταμῶν καὶ ἐκραταιώθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Χουσαρσαθαιμ

11 καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη καὶ ἀπέθανεν Γοθονιηλ υἱὸς Κενεζ

12 καὶ προσέθεντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν κύριος τὸν Εγλωμ βασιλέα Μωαβ ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ διὰ τὸ πεποιηκέναι αὐτοὺς τὸ πονηρὸν ἔναντι κυρίου

13 καὶ συνήγαγεν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς Αμμων καὶ Αμαληκ καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν τὴν πόλιν τῶν φοινίκων

14 καὶ ἐδούλευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τῷ Εγλωμ βασιλεῖ Μωαβ ἔτη δέκα ὀκτώ

15 καὶ ἐκέκραξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτοῖς σωτῆρα τὸν Αωδ υἱὸν Γηρα υἱὸν τοῦ Ιεμενι ἄνδρα ἀμφοτεροδέξιον καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ δῶρα ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τῷ Εγλωμ βασιλεῖ Μωαβ

16 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Αωδ μάχαιραν δίστομον σπιθαμῆς τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ περιεζώσατο αὐτὴν ὑπὸ τὸν μανδύαν ἐπὶ τὸν μηρὸν τὸν δεξιὸν αὐτοῦ

17 καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ προσήνεγκεν τὰ δῶρα τῷ Εγλωμ βασιλεῖ Μωαβ καὶ Εγλωμ ἀνὴρ ἀστεῖος σφόδρα

18 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα συνετέλεσεν Αωδ προσφέρων τὰ δῶρα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τοὺς φέροντας τὰ δῶρα

19 καὶ αὐτὸς ὑπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τῶν γλυπτῶν τῶν μετὰ τῆς Γαλγαλ καὶ εἶπεν Αωδ λόγος μοι κρύφιος πρὸς σέ βασιλεῦ καὶ εἶπεν Εγλωμ πρὸς αὐτόν σιώπα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ πάντας τοὺς ἐφεστῶτας ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν

20 καὶ Αωδ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ τῷ θερινῷ τῷ ἑαυτοῦ μονώτατος καὶ εἶπεν Αωδ λόγος θεοῦ μοι πρὸς σέ βασιλεῦ καὶ ἐξανέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου Εγλωμ ἐγγὺς αὐτοῦ

21 καὶ ἐγένετο ἅμα τῷ ἀναστῆναι αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Αωδ τὴν χεῖρα τὴν ἀριστερὰν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν μάχαιραν ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ μηροῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐνέπηξεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτοῦ

22 καὶ ἐπεισήνεγκεν καί γε τὴν λαβὴν ὀπίσω τῆς φλογός καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὸ στέαρ κατὰ τῆς φλογός ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Αωδ τὴν προστάδα

23 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν τοὺς διατεταγμένους καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὰς θύρας τοῦ ὑπερῴου κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσφήνωσεν

24 καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξῆλθεν καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ εἰσῆλθον καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ αἱ θύραι τοῦ ὑπερῴου ἐσφηνωμέναι καὶ εἶπαν μήποτε ἀποκενοῖ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ταμιείῳ τῷ θερινῷ

25 καὶ ὑπέμειναν ἕως ᾐσχύνοντο καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀνοίγων τὰς θύρας τοῦ ὑπερῴου καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν κλεῖδα καὶ ἤνοιξαν καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ κύριος αὐτῶν πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τεθνηκώς

26 καὶ Αωδ διεσώθη ἕως ἐθορυβοῦντο καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ προσνοῶν αὐτῷ καὶ αὐτὸς παρῆλθεν τὰ γλυπτὰ καὶ διεσώθη εἰς Σετιρωθα

27 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἦλθεν Αωδ εἰς γῆν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ἐν κερατίνῃ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ κατέβησαν σὺν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους καὶ αὐτὸς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν

28 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς κατάβητε ὀπίσω μου ὅτι παρέδωκεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν τὴν Μωαβ ἐν χειρὶ ἡμῶν καὶ κατέβησαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ προκατελάβοντο τὰς διαβάσεις τοῦ Ιορδάνου τῆς Μωαβ καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνδρα διαβῆναι

29 καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Μωαβ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὡσεὶ δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πᾶν λιπαρὸν καὶ πάντα ἄνδρα δυνάμεως καὶ οὐ διεσώθη ἀνήρ

30 καὶ ἐνετράπη Μωαβ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὑπὸ χεῖρα Ισραηλ καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ ὀγδοήκοντα ἔτη καὶ ἔκρινεν αὐτοὺς Αωδ ἕως οὗ ἀπέθανεν

31 καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀνέστη Σαμεγαρ υἱὸς Διναχ καὶ ἐπάταξεν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς ἑξακοσίους ἄνδρας ἐν τῷ ἀροτρόποδι τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἔσωσεν καί γε αὐτὸς τὸν Ισραηλ

28 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς καταβαίνετε ὀπίσω μου ὅτι παρέδωκεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν τὴν Μωαβ ἐν χειρὶ ὑμῶν καὶ κατέβησαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ προκατελάβοντο τὰς διαβάσεις τοῦ Ιορδάνου τῆς Μωαβ καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκαν ἄνδρα διαβῆναι

29 καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Μωαβ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ὡσεὶ δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πάντας τοὺς μαχητὰς τοὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ πάντα ἄνδρα δυνάμεως καὶ οὐ διεσώθη ἀνήρ

30 καὶ ἐνετράπη Μωαβ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρα Ισραηλ καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ ὀγδοήκοντα ἔτη καὶ ἔκρινεν αὐτοὺς Αωδ ἕως οὗ ἀπέθανεν

31 καὶ μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη Σαμεγαρ υἱὸς Αναθ καὶ ἐπάταξεν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς ἑξακοσίους ἄνδρας ἐκτὸς μόσχων τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτὸς τὸν Ισραηλ

1 Hæ sunt gentes quas Dominus dereliquit, ut erudiret in eis Israëlem, et omnes qui non noverant bella Chananæorum:

2 ut postea discerent filii eorum certare cum hostibus, et habere consuetudinem præliandi:

3 quinque satrapas Philisthinorum, omnemque Chananæum, et Sidonium, atque Hevæum, qui habitabat in monte Libano, de monte Baal Hermon usque ad introitum Emath.

4 Dimisitque eos, ut in ipsis experiretur Israëlem, utrum audiret mandata Domini quæ præceperat patribus eorum per manum Moysi, an non.

5 Itaque filii Israël habitaverunt in medio Chananæi, et Hethæi, et Amorrhæi, et Pherezæi, et Hevæi, et Jebusæi:

6 et duxerunt uxores filias eorum, ipsique filias suas filiis eorum tradiderunt, et servierunt diis eorum.

7 Feceruntque malum in conspectu Domini, et obliti sunt Dei sui, servientes Baalim et Astaroth.

8 Iratusque contra Israël Dominus, tradidit eos in manus Chusan Rasathaim regis Mesopotamiæ, servieruntque ei octo annis.

9 Et clamaverunt ad Dominum, qui suscitavit eis salvatorem, et liberavit eos, Othoniel videlicet filium Cenez, fratrem Caleb minorem:

10 fuitque in eo spiritus Domini, et judicavit Israël. Egressusque est ad pugnam, et tradidit Dominus in manus ejus Chusan Rasathaim regem Syriæ, et oppressit eum.

11 Quievitque terra quadraginta annis, et mortuus est Othoniel filius Cenez.

12 Addiderunt autem filii Israël facere malum in conspectu Domini: qui confortavit adversum eos Eglon regem Moab, quia fecerunt malum in conspectu ejus.

13 Et copulavit ei filios Ammon, et Amalec: abiitque et percussit Israël, atque possedit urbem palmarum.

14 Servieruntque filii Israël Eglon regi Moab decem et octo annis.

15 Et postea clamaverunt ad Dominum, qui suscitavit eis salvatorem vocabulo Aod, filium Gera, filii Jemini, qui utraque manu pro dextera utebatur. Miseruntque filii Israël per illum munera Eglon regi Moab.

16 Qui fecit sibi gladium ancipitem, habentem in medio capulum longitudinis palmæ manus, et accinctus est eo subter sagum in dextro femore.

17 Obtulitque munera Eglon regi Moab. Erat autem Eglon crassus nimis.

18 Cumque obtulisset ei munera, prosecutus est socios, qui cum eo venerant.

19 Et reversus de Galgalis, ubi erant idola, dixit ad regem: Verbum secretum habeo ad te, o rex. Et ille imperavit silentium: egressisque omnibus qui circa eum erant,

20 ingressus est Aod ad eum: sedebat autem in æstivo cœnaculo solus: dixitque: Verbum Dei habeo ad te. Qui statim surrexit de throno.

21 Extenditque Aod sinistram manum, et tulit sicam de dextro femore suo, infixitque eam in ventre ejus

22 tam valide, ut capulus sequeretur ferrum in vulnere, ac pinguissimo adipe stringeretur. Nec eduxit gladium, sed ita ut percusserat, reliquit in corpore: statimque per secreta naturæ alvi stercora proruperunt.

23 Aod autem clausis diligentissime ostiis cœnaculi, et obfirmatis sera,

24 per posticum egressus est. Servique regis ingressi viderunt clausas fores cœnaculi, atque dixerunt: Forsitan purgat alvum in æstivo cubiculo.

25 Expectantesque diu donec erubescerent, et videntes quod nullus aperiret, tulerunt clavem: et aperientes invenerunt dominum suum in terra jacentem mortuum.

26 Aod autem, dum illi turbarentur, effugit, et pertransiit locum idolorum, unde reversus fuerat. Venitque in Seirath:

27 et statim insonuit buccina in monte Ephraim, descenderuntque cum eo filii Israël, ipso in fronte gradiente.

28 Qui dixit ad eos: Sequimini me: tradidit enim Dominus inimicos nostros Moabitas in manus nostras. Descenderuntque post eum, et occupaverunt vada Jordanis quæ transmittunt in Moab: et non dimiserunt transire quemquam:

29 sed percusserunt Moabitas in tempore illo, circiter decem millia, omnes robustos et fortes viros. Nullus eorum evadere potuit.

30 Humiliatusque est Moab in die illo sub manu Israël: et quievit terra octoginta annis.

31 Post hunc fuit Samgar filius Anath, qui percussit de Philisthiim sexcentos viros vomere: et ipse quoque defendit Israël.
