The people associating them selues with Gentiles, against whom they ought to

1 These are the Nations, which our Lord left, that in
them he might instruct Israel, and al that had not knowen
the warres of the Chananeites:
2 that afterward their
children might lerne to fight with their enemies, and to be
accustomed to warre:
3 the fiue princes of the Philisthimes,
and the Chananeite, and Sidonian, and Heueite, that dwelt
in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entring
into Emath.
4 And he left them, that in them he might trie
Israel, whether they would heare the commandementes of
our Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand
of Moyses, or not.
5 Therfore the children of Israel dwelt
in the middes of the Chananeite, and Hetheite, and Amorrheite,
and Pherezeite, and Heueite, and Iebuseite:
6 and
they tooke their daughters to wiues, and them selues gaue
their owne daughters to their sonnes, & serued their goddes.
7 And they did euil in the sight of our Lord, and forgat their
God, seruing Baalim and Astaroth.
8 And our Lord being
wrath against Israel, deliuered them into the handes of Chusan
Rasathaim the king of Mesopotamia, and they serued
him eight yeares.
9 And they cried to our Lord: who raysed
them vp note a sauiour, and deliuered them, to witte, Othoniel
the sonne of Cenez, the yonger brother of Caleb:
10 and the
Spirit of our Lord was in him, and he iudged Israel. And he
went forth to fight, and our Lord deliuered into his handes
Chusan Rasathaim the king of Syria, and oppressed him.
11 And the land rested note fourtie yeares, and Othoniel the
sonne of Cenez died.
12 And the children of Israel added to
doe euil in the sight of our Lord: who strengthned against
them Eglon the king of Moab: because they did euil in his
sight.
13 And he ioyned to him the children of Ammon, and
Amalec: and he went and stroke Israel, and possessed the
Citie of palmes.
14 And the children of Israel serued Eglon
the king of Moab eightene yeares:
15 and afterward they
cried to our Lord: who raysed vp vnto them a sauiour called
Aod, the sonne of Gera, the sonne of Iemini, who vsed both

handes for the right. And the children of Israel sent by him
presentes to Eglon the king of Moab.
16 Who made him self
a two edged sword, hauing in the middes a hafte in length
the palme of a hand, and was girded therwith vnder his cassocke
on the right thigh.
17 And he presented the giftes to
Eglon the king of Moab. And Eglon was exceeding grosse.
18 And when he had presented the giftes vnto him, he
brought his felow es on the way that came with him.
19 And
returning from Galgal, where the Idols were, he said to the
King: I haue a secrete message to thee รด king. And he commmanded
silence: and al being gone forth, that were about
him,
20 Aod went in to him: and he fate in a sommer chamber
alone, and he said: note A word from God I haue to thee.
Who forthwith rose out of his throne.
21 And Aod put forth
his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and
fastened it into his bellie
22 so mightelyt that the haft folowed
the blade in the wound, and was closed vp fast with the
most fatte grease. Neither did he plucke out the dagger,
but as he had striken so leift it in the bodie: and forthwith by
the secrete partes of nature the ordure of the bellie came
forth.
23 But Aod shutting the doores of the chamber very
diligently, and locking them sure,
24 went out by a posterne
doore. And the kinges seruantes going in, saw the doores of
the chamber shut, and they said: Peraduenture he purgeth
his bellie in the sommer chamber.
25 And expecting long til
they were ashamed, and seeing that no man did open, they
tooke a key: and opening they found their lord on the earth
lying dead.
26 But Aod, whiles they were trubled, escaped,
and passed by the Place of Idols, whence he had returned. And
he came into Seirath:
27 and forthwith the trumpet sounded
in the mount of Ephraim: and the children of Israel went
downe with him, him self going in the front.
28 Who said to
them: Folow me: for our Lord hath deliuered our enemies the
Moabites into our handes. And they went downe after him,
and occupied the fordes of Iordan, which bring ouer into
Moab: and they suffered no man to passe:
29 but they stroke
the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, al stoute and
strong men, none of them could escape.
30 And Moab was
humbled that day vnder the hand of Israel: and the Land
rested eightie yeares.
31 After him was Samgar the sonne of
Anath, who stroke, of the Philisthimes six hundred men with
the culter of a ploughe: and he also defended Israel.
