RF JDG 3:1 (B.C. 1420.) Why the revolt of the Natives was allowed.
And these are the nations whom the EVER-LIVING permitted to try Israel, all who were not acquainted with the wars of Canaan:
RF JDG 3:2 so that the generations of the Children of Israel might learn war, which they otherwise would not have known.
RF JDG 3:3 The five Lordships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and Zidonians, and the Hivites, inhabiting the hills of the Lebanon, from the Hill of Bal-Hermon, to the pass of Khamath.
RF JDG 3:4 They were also to try Israel to teach them to listen to the commands of the EVER-LIVING, which He dictated to their fathers by the hand of Moses.
RF JDG 3:5 So the Children of Israel resided amongst the Canaanites, the Hitites, the Amorites, the Perizites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
RF JDG 3:6 and took their daughters to themselves for wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
RF JDG 3:7 The Children of Israel also did wrong in the sight of the EVER-LIVING, and forsook their EVER-LIVING GOD and served Balim and Ashteroth.
RF JDG 3:8 (B.C. 1402.) The Armamites of Mesopotamia Ravage all Western Asia and Palestine.
The anger of the EVER-LIVING consequently burnt against Israel, and He delivered them to the power of Koshan-Ramathim, King of Arambetween-the-Rivers and the Children of Israel were subject to Koshan-Ramathim for nine years.
RF JDG 3:9 (B.C. 1394.) Then the sons of Israel cried to the EVER-LIVING, and the EVER-LIVING sent a saviour for Israel, in Athnial the descendant of Kenez, the youngest brother of Kaleb, who saved them,

2. Mesopotamia.—F.F.
RF JDG 3:10 for the Spirit of the EVER-LIVING was upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war, and the EVER-LIVING gave Koshan-Ramathim to his hand.
RF JDG 3:11 Thus the country had peace for forty years, until Athnial-ben-Kenez died.
RF JDG 3:12 (B.C. 1354.) King Aglon of Moab and his Chiefs defeat the Israelites.
The Children of Israel, however, continued to do wrong in the sight of the EVER-LIVING, so the EVER-LIVING emboldened Aglon, King of Moab, against Israel, because they did wrong in the eyes of the EVER-LIVING;
RF JDG 3:13 and he added to himself the Children of Amon, and Amalek, and Zabin, and defeated Israel, and seized the town of Palm trees.1
RF JDG 3:14 The sons of Israel consequently served Aglon, King of Moab, eighteen years.
RF JDG 3:15 Then the Children of Israel cried to the EVER-LIVING, and the EVER-LIVING raised a saviour for them, Ahud-ben-Ghera, a Benjaminite, a left-handed man, by whose means the sons of Israel sent the tribute to Aglon, King of Moab.
RF JDG 3:16 But Ahud made himself a sword of a foot long with a double edge, and bound it under his cloak on his right thigh,
RF JDG 3:17 when he approached with the tribute to Aglon, King of Moab,—(Aglon, however, was a very fat man)—
RF JDG 3:18 and when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute,
RF JDG 3:19 but he returned back from the quarries that are in Gilgal, and said, "I desire a word in private between myself and you, King," and he replied "All right!" and sent away all who stood about him.
RF JDG 3:20 (B.C. 1336.) Ahud stabs King Aglon of Moab, And Israel Revolts.
Then Ahud came to him, and he sat upon the raised seat which was reserved for himself alone, and Ahud said, "There is a message from GOD with me for you." So he rose from his throne.
RF JDG 3:21 Then Ahud stretched out his left hand, and drew the sword from his thigh, and drove it into his belly,
RF JDG 3:22 and the excrement came out after the blade, but the fat closed up over the blade, for he did not draw the sword from his belly, but it went into the intestines.
RF JDG 3:23 Then Ahud went out by the private porch and shut the door after him, and locked it.

1 Palm-town—Thamarim, in Heb.—F.F.
RF JDG 3:24 But when he was gone the servants came and looked and saw the door of the chamber locked, and said, "Perhaps he is lying down in the chamber of his summer house."
RF JDG 3:25 So they waited until they were alarmed, and seeing no one open the door of the retreat, at length they took a key and opened the door, and saw their Prince fallen on the earth dead!
RF JDG 3:26 But Ahud escaped while they delayed, and passed the quarries, and ran away like a tempest,
RF JDG 3:27 and then went on and blew a trumpet in Mount Ephraim, and the Children of Israel flocked to him from the hills, and he became their leader,
RF JDG 3:28 and said to them, "Follow after me, for the EVER-LIVING will give your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand!" So they followed after him, and captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab and permitted no man to pass over.
RF JDG 3:29 They also cut off from Moab at the same period about ten thousand men,—all stout men of valour, and not a man escaped.
RF JDG 3:30 Moab was consequently from that time subjected to the hand of Israel, and the land was at rest eight years.
RF JDG 3:31 (About B.C. 1328.) And after that came Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew six hundred of the Philistines with an ox-goad and delivered Israel.
