Judges 3:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ Then, for forty years under Othniel, there was peace in the land. But when Othniel died, ¹² the people of Israel turned once again to their sinful ways, so God helped King Eglon of Moab to conquer part of Israel at that time. ¹³ Allied with him were the armies of the Ammonites and the Amalekites. These forces defeated the Israelis and took possession of Jericho, often called “The City of Palm Trees.”
