Judges 3:9-11
New English Translation

9 When the Israelites cried out for help to the Lord, he[a] raised up a deliverer for the Israelites who rescued[b] them. His name was Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.[c] 10 The Lord’s Spirit empowered him[d] and he led Israel. When he went to do battle, the Lord handed over to him King Cushan Rishathaim of Armon[e] and he overpowered him.[f] 11 The land had rest for forty years; then Othniel son of Kenaz died.
