And you will be in trouble. But later you will return to the Lord your God. You will obey him.The Lord your God is tender and loving. He won’t leave you or destroy you.

So you lived in safety.

The Lord provided someone to save Israel. And they escaped from the power of Aram. So the Israelites lived in their own homes, just as they had before.

You are the Lord our God. But we haven’t obeyed you. We haven’t kept the laws you gave us through your servants the prophets.All the people of Israel have broken your law and turned away from it.

That’s because we have sinned against you.The warnings you gave us and our rulers have come true. You have brought great trouble on us. Nothing like what has been done to Jerusalem has ever happened anywhere else on earth.The curses that are written in the Law of Moses have fallen on us. We have received nothing but trouble.

We’ve refused to pay attention to the laws you gave us.Lord, you didn’t hold back from bringing this trouble on us. You always do what is right. But we haven’t obeyed you.

I saved you from all those who were treating you badly. I drove out the Canaanites to make room for you. I gave you their land.I said to you,“ I am the Lord your God.

So the Lord was very angry with Israel. He handed them over to the power of Cushan- Rishathaim, the king of Aram Naharaim. For eight years Israel was under his rule.They cried out to the Lord. Then he provided someone to save them. The man’s name was Othniel, the son of Kenaz. He was Caleb’s younger brother.The Spirit of the Lord came on Othniel. So he became Israel’s leader. He went to war. The Lord handed over to him Cushan- Rishathaim, the king of Aram. Othniel won the battle over him.So the land was at peace for 40 years. Then Othniel, the son of Kenaz, died.Again the Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord gave Eglon power over Israel. Eglon was the king of Moab.He got the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him. All of them came and attacked Israel. They captured Jericho. Jericho was also known as The City of Palm Trees.For 18 years the Israelites were under the rule of Eglon, the king of Moab.Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord. Then he provided someone to save them. The man’s name was Ehud, the son of Gera. Ehud was left- handed. He was from the tribe of Benjamin. The Israelites sent Ehud to Eglon, the king of Moab. They sent him to give the king what he required them to bring him.Ehud had made a sword that had two edges. It was about a foot and a half long. He tied it to his right leg under his clothes.Eglon, the king of Moab, was a very fat man. Ehud gave him the gift he had brought.After that, Ehud sent away those who had carried it.When he came to the place where some statues of gods stood near Gilgal, Ehud went back to Eglon. He said,“ Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.” The king said to his attendants,“ Leave us!” And all his attendants left him.Then Ehud approached him. King Eglon was sitting alone in the upstairs room of his palace. Ehud said,“ I have a message from God for you.” So the king got up from his seat.Then Ehud reached out his left hand. He pulled out the sword tied to his right leg. He stuck it into the king’s stomach.Even the handle sank in after the blade. Eglon sagged and fell to the floor. Ehud didn’t pull out the sword. And the fat closed over it.Ehud went out to the porch. He shut the doors of the upstairs room behind him. Then he locked them.After he had gone, the servants came. They found the doors of the upstairs room locked. They said,“ Eglon must be going to the toilet in the inside room of the palace.”They waited for a long time. They waited so long they became worried. But the king still didn’t open the doors of the room. So they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their king. He had fallen to the floor and was dead.While Eglon’s servants had been waiting, Ehud had gotten away. He passed by the statues of gods and escaped to Seirah.There in the hill country of Ephraim he blew a trumpet. Then he led the Israelites down from the hills.“ Follow me,” Ehud ordered.“ The Lord has handed your enemy Moab over to you.” So they followed him down. They took over the only places where people could go across the Jordan River to get to Moab. They didn’t let anyone go across.At that time they struck down about 10,000 men of Moab. All those men were strong and powerful. But not even one escaped.That day Moab was brought under the rule of Israel. So the land was at peace for 80 years.

Leaders from Mount Zion will go and rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the Lord.

The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ You are going to join the members of your family who have already died. The Israelites will not be faithful to me. They will soon join themselves to the false gods that are worshiped in the land they are entering. The people will desert me. They will break the covenant I made with them.In that day I will become angry with them. I will desert them. I will turn my face away from them. And they will be destroyed. Many horrible troubles and hard times will come on them. On that day they will say,‘ Trouble has come on us. Our God isn’t with us!’I will certainly turn away from them on that day. I will do it because they did a very evil thing when they turned to other gods.
