Dommere 3

Studie

   

1 Dette var de Folkeslag, HE EN lod blive tilbage for ved dem at sætte Israel Prøve, alle de Israelitter, som ikke havde kendt til Kampene om Kana'an,

2 alene for Israelitternes Slægters Skyld, for at øve dem i Krig, alene for deres Skyld, som ikke havde kendt noget til de tidligere Krige:

3 De fem Filisterfyrster, alle Kana'anæerne, Zidonierne og Hetiterne, som boede i Libanons Bjerge fra Ba'al-Hermon til hen imod Hamat.

4 De blev tilbage, for at Israel ved dem kunde blive sat på Prøve, så det kunde komme for Dagen, om de vilde lyde de Bud, HE EN havde givet deres Fædre ved Moses.

5 Og Israelitterne boede blandt Kana'anæerne, Hetiterne, Amoriterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne.

6 De indgik Ægteskab med deres Døtre og gav deres Sønner deres Døtre til Ægte, og de dyrkede deres Guder.

7 Israelitterne gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HE ENs Øjne; de glemte HE EN deres Gud og dyrkede Ba'alerne og Asjererne.

8 Da blussede HE ENs Vrede op imod Israel, og han gav dem til Pris for Kong Kusjan- isjatajim af Aram Naharajim, og Israelitterne stod under Kusjan isjatajim i otte År.

9 Da råbte Israelitterne til HE EN, og HE EN lod en Befrier fremstå iblandt Israelitterne, og han frelste dem, nemlig Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs yngre Broder.

10 HE ENs Ånd kom over ham, og han blev Dommer i Israel; han drog ud til Kamp, og HE EN gav Kong Kusjan isjatajim af Aram i hans Hånd, så han fik Overtaget over ham.

11 Og Landet havde o i fyrretyve År, og Kenizziten Otniel døde.

12 Men Israelitterne blev ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HE ENs Øjne. Da gav HE EN Kong Eglon af Moab Magt over Israel, fordi de gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HE ENs Øjne.

13 Han fik Ammoniterne og Amalekiterne med sig, drog ud og slog Israel og tog Palmestaden.

14 Og Israelitterne stod under Kong Eglon af Moab i atten År.

15 Men da Israelitterne råbte til HE EN, lod HE EN en Befrier fremstå iblandt dem, Benjaminiten Ehud, Geras Søn, som var kejthåndet. Da Israelitterne engang sendte Ehud til Kong Eglon af Moab med Skat,

16 lavede han sig et tveægget Sværd, en Gomed langt, og bandt det til sin højre Hofte under Kappen.

17 Derpå afleverede han Skatten til Kong Eglon af Moab Eglon var en meget fed Mand

18 og da han var færdig dermed, ledsagede han Folkene, der havde båret Skatten, på Vej,

19 men selv vendte han om ved Pesilim ved Gilgal og sagde: "Konge, jeg har noget at tale med dig om i Hemmelighed!" Men han bød ham tie, til alle de, der stod om ham, var gået ud.

20 Da Ehud kom ind til ham, sad han i sin svale Stue på Taget, hvor han var alene; og Ehud sagde: "Jeg har et Gudsord til dig!" Da rejste han sig fra sit Sæde,

21 men idet han stod op, rakte Ehud sin venstre Hånd ud og greb Sværdet ved sin højre Side og stak det i Underlivet på ham,

22 så endog Grebet gik i med Klingen; og Fedtet sluttede om Klingen, thi han drog ikke Sværdet ud af Livet på ham; og Skarnet gik fra ham.

23 Så gik Ehud bort gennem Søjlegangen, lukkede Døren til Stuen for ham og låsede den.

24 Efter at han var gået bort, kom Kongens Folk, og da de fandt Døren til Stuen låset, tænkte de, at han tildækkede sine Fødder i det svale Hammer;

25 men da de havde biet, indtil de skammede sig, uden at han åbnede Døren til Stuen, hentede de Nøglen og lukkede op; og se, der lå deres Herre død på Gulvet.

26 Men Ehud slap bort, medens de blev opholdt, og han satte over ved Pesilim og undslap til Seira.

27 Så snart han derpå nåede Efraims Bjerge, lod han støde i Hornet; og Israelitterne fulgte ham ned fra Bjergene, idet han gik i Spidsen for dem.

28 Og han sagde til dem: "Følg mig ned, thi HE EN har givet eders Fjender Moabiterne i eders Hånd!" Og de fulgte ham ned og fratog Moabiterne Vadestederne over Jordan og lod ikke en eneste komme over.

29 Ved den Lejlighed nedhuggede de omtrent 10000 Moabiter, lutter stærke og dygtige Mænd, ikke een undslap.

30 Således blev Moab den Gang underkuet af Israel; og Landet havde o i firsindstyve År.

31 Efter ham kom Sjamgar, Anats Søn. Han nedhuggede Filisterne, 600 Mand, med en Oksedriverstav; også han frelste Israel.

Joshua 11

Studie

   

1 It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,

2 and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

4 They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.

5 All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

6 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Don't be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.

8 Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward. They struck them until they left them none remaining.

9 Joshua did to them as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.

10 Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.

11 They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor with fire.

12 Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.

13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.

14 The children of Israel took all the spoil of these cities, with the livestock, as spoils for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn't leave any who breathed.

15 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

16 So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;

17 from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.

18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.

20 For it was of Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

21 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

22 There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. The land had rest from war.
