8. Therefore The LORD's anger burned against ISRAEL, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of ISRAEL served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.

9. When the children of ISRAEL cried to The LORD, the LORD raised up a savior to the children of ISRAEL, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

10. The LORD's Spirit came on him, and he judged ISRAEL; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. His hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.

11. The land had rest forty years, then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
