Judges 3:7-9

The Israelites did evil in the L ord ’s sight. They forgot about the L ord  their God, and they served the images of Baal and the Asherah poles.  Then the L ord  burned with anger against Israel, and he turned them over to King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram-naharaim.  And the Israelites served Cushan-rishathaim for eight years. But when the people of Israel cried out to the L ord  for help, the L ord  raised up a rescuer to save them. His name was Othniel, the son of Caleb’s younger brother, Kenaz. (Judges 3:7-9 NLT)
