가나안 땅에 남은 원주민들

여호와께서는 가나안에서 전쟁을 겪지 않은 이스라엘 백성을 시험하시려고 그 땅에 일부 민족을 남겨 두셨다.

이것은 전에 전쟁을 겪어 보지 못한 새로운 세대들에게 전쟁이 무엇인지 가르쳐 주기 위해서였다.

그 땅에 남게 된 원주민들은 블레셋 다섯 성의 [a]주민들과 모든 가나안 사람들과 시돈 사람들, 그리고 바알 – 헤르몬산에서부터 하맛 입구까지 레바논산에 사는 히위 사람들이었다.

이들은 이스라엘의 새로운 세대를 시험하고 또 그들이 여호와께서 모세를 통하여 그들의 조상들에게 주신 명령에 순종하는지 안하는지를 알아보기 위해서 여호와 하나님이 남겨 두신 자들이었다.

그래서 이스라엘 백성은 가나안 사람, 헷 사람, 아모리 사람, 브리스 사람, 히위 사람, 여부스 사람 가운데 살게 되었는데

그들은 이 민족들과 서로 결혼하고 그들의 신들을 섬겼다.

옷니엘

이스라엘 백성은 그들의 하나님 여호와를 잊어버리고 바알과 아세라 우상을 섬겨 여호와께 범죄하였다.

그래서 여호와께서는 몹시 노하셔서 그들을 메소포타미아의 구산 – 리사다임왕에게 넘겨 이스라엘이 8년 동안 그의 지배를 받게 하셨다.

그러나 이스라엘 백성이 여호와께 부르짖자 여호와께서는 그들을 구출해 낼 사람을 세우셨는데 그는 갈렙의 조카이며 그나스의 아들인 옷니엘이었다.

10 [b]여호와의 성령께서 그를 감동시키셨으므로 그가 이스라엘의 사사가 되어 전쟁에 나갔다. 여호와께서는 메소포타미아의 구산 – 리사다임왕을 그의 손에 넘겨 주어 그를 이길 수 있게 하셨다.

11 그래서 그 땅에는 그나스의 아들 옷니엘이 죽을 때까지 40년 동안 평화가 있었다.

에훗

12 이스라엘 백성이 여호와께 범죄하므로 여호와께서는 모압 왕 에글론을 이스라엘보다 더 강하게 하셨다.

13 에글론이 암몬 사람과 아말렉 사람의 세력을 모아 이스라엘을 쳐서 종려나무 성인 여리고를 점령하였다.

14 그래서 이스라엘 백성은 18년 동안 에글론왕의 지배를 받았다.

15 그러나 이스라엘 백성이 다시 여호와께 부르짖자 여호와께서는 그들을 구출해 낼 사람을 세우셨는데 그는 베냐민 지파에 속한 게라의 아들, 왼손잡이 에훗이었다. 이스라엘 백성은 에훗에게 조공을 주어 모압 왕 에글론에게 갖다 바치게 하였다.

16 그래서 에훗은 [c]45센티미터 정도의 양쪽 날이 선 칼을 직접 만들어 오른쪽 넓적다리 옷 속에 감추고

17 모압 왕 에글론에게 가서 조공을 바쳤다. 에글론은 아주 비대한 사람이었다.

18 에훗은 조공을 바친 후 그것을 운반한 사람들을 돌려보내고

19 자기는 길갈 부근의 우상 만드는 곳에서 되돌아와 에글론에게 “왕이여, 제가 조용히 드릴 말씀이 있습니다” 하였다. 왕이 자기 신하들에게 나가 있으라고 말하자 그들은 모두 밖으로 나갔다.

20 그때 왕은 시원한 다락방에 혼자 앉아 있었다. 에훗이 그에게 나아가 “하나님이 왕에게 전하라고 하신 말씀을 제가 가져왔습니다” 하자 에글론왕이 곧 자리에서 일어섰다.

21 그러자 에훗은 왼손으로 오른쪽 넓적다리에서 칼을 뽑아 왕의 배를 찔렀는데

22 그 칼은 자루까지 딸려들어가 칼 끝이 그의 등 뒤로 나왔다. 에훗이 칼을 빼내지 않았으므로 그 칼에 기름이 엉겨붙었다.

23 그러고서 에훗은 밖으로 나가 다락방 문을 걸어 잠갔다.

24 에훗이 떠난 뒤에 왕의 신하들이 와서 보니 다락방 문이 잠겨 있었다. 그래서 그들은 왕이 그 방에 딸려 있는 화장실에서 용변을 보고 있는 줄로 생각하였다.

25 그러나 오랫동안 기다려도 왕이 문을 열지 않자 그들이 열쇠를 가져와 문을 열고 보니 왕이 마룻바닥에 죽어 있었다.

26 한편 에훗은 신하들이 기다리는 동안 우상 만드는 곳을 지나 스이라로 도망하였다.

27 그는 에브라임 산간 지대에 와서 나팔을 불어 병력을 소집한 다음 그들을 이끌고 산간 지대에서 내려오며

28 “나를 따르시오. 여호와께서 여러분의 원수, 모압 사람들을 여러분의 손에 넘겨 주셨습니다!” 하고 외쳤다. 그래서 그들은 에훗을 따라 내려가서 모압으로 들어가는 요단강 나루를 장악하고 한 사람도 건너가지 못하게 하였다.

29 그 날 그들은 모압을 공격하여 약 10,000명의 모압 정예병을 한 사람도 남기지 않고 모조리 죽였다.

30 그래서 그 날 모압은 이스라엘에게 굴복하였고 그 후로 그 땅에는 80년 동안 평화가 있었다.

삼갈

31 에훗 다음에 나타난 사사는 아낫의 아들 삼갈이었다. 그는 소를 모는 막대기로 블레셋 사람 600명을 죽이고 이스라엘을 구원하였다.

These are the nations the Lord left to test(A) all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience): the five(B) rulers of the Philistines,(C) all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites(D) living in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon(E) to Lebo Hamath.(F) They were left to test(G) the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord’s commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses.

The Israelites lived(H) among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,(I) Hivites and Jebusites.(J) They took their daughters(K) in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.(L)

Othniel

The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord(M) their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.(N) The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold(O) them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim(P) king of Aram Naharaim,[a](Q) to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. But when they cried out(R) to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer,(S) Othniel(T) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him,(U) so that he became Israel’s judge[b] and went to war. The Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim(V) king of Aram(W) into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 11 So the land had peace(X) for forty years,(Y) until Othniel son of Kenaz(Z) died.

Ehud

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

15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer(AG)—Ehud(AH), a left-handed(AI) man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute(AJ) to Eglon king of Moab. 16 Now Ehud(AK) had made a double-edged sword about a cubit[d] long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. 17 He presented the tribute(AL) to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man.(AM) 18 After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it. 19 But on reaching the stone images near Gilgal he himself went back to Eglon and said, “Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.”

The king said to his attendants, “Leave us!” And they all left.

20 Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace[e](AN) and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose(AO) from his seat, 21 Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword(AP) from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22 Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. 23 Then Ehud went out to the porch[f]; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

24 After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, “He must be relieving himself(AQ) in the inner room of the palace.” 25 They waited to the point of embarrassment,(AR) but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead.

26 While they waited, Ehud got away. He passed by the stone images and escaped to Seirah. 27 When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet(AS) in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them.

28 “Follow me,” he ordered, “for the Lord has given Moab,(AT) your enemy, into your hands.(AU)” So they followed him down and took possession of the fords of the Jordan(AV) that led to Moab; they allowed no one to cross over. 29 At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. 30 That day Moab(AW) was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace(AX) for eighty years.

Shamgar

31 After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath,(AY) who struck down six hundred(AZ) Philistines(BA) with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.

Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

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.

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.

15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.

30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
