8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He asold them into the hand of bCushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.
9 When the children of Israel acried out to the Lord, the Lord braised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: cOthniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 aThe 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.
11 So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

12 aAnd the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord strengthened bEglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.
