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.

³⁴ When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

⁹ 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.

² They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

¹⁶ Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.

³ Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

¹² Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

¹³ And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

¹⁶ Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

⁶ Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

¹⁶ A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

¹⁵ Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

²⁷ But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought no presents. But he held his peace.
