Judges 3:12-14
New English Translation

Deceit, Assassination, and Deliverance

12 The Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight.[a] The Lord gave King Eglon of Moab control over Israel[b] because they had done evil in the Lord’s sight. 13 Eglon formed alliances with[c] the Ammonites and Amalekites. He came and defeated Israel, and they seized the city of date palm trees.[d] 14 The Israelites were subject to[e] King Eglon of Moab for eighteen years.
