Judges 3:8-14
New International Version
8 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold(A) them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim(B) king of Aram Naharaim,[a](C) to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. 9 But when they cried out(D) to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer,(E) Othniel(F) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him,(G) so that he became Israel’s judge[b] and went to war. The Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim(H) king of Aram(I) into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 11 So the land had peace(J) for forty years,(K) until Othniel son of Kenaz(L) died.

12 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(M) and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab(N) power over Israel. 13 Getting the Ammonites(O) and Amalekites(P) to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.[c](Q) 14 The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab(R) for eighteen years.

Judges 3:8-14
King James Version
8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
