1 Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it:3 the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.4 They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.5 The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:6 and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
Otniel
7 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.8 Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled 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 Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.10 The Spirit of Yahweh came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.11 The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died.Éhoud
12 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.13 He gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.14 The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.15 But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.16 Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.17 He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.18 When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret errand to you, king." The king said, "Keep silence!" All who stood by him went out from him.20 Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you." He arose out of his seat.21 Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:22 and the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."25 They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn't open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.26 Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.27 It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.28 He said to them, "Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn't allow any man to pass over.29 They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. The land had rest eighty years.Chamgar
31 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck of the Philistines six hundred men with an oxgoad: and he also saved Israel. -

1 Et ce sont ici les nations que l'Éternel laissa subsister pour éprouver par elles Israël, savoir tous ceux qui n'avaient pas connu toutes les guerres de Canaan ;2 et cela seulement afin que les générations des fils d'Israël connussent, en l'apprenant, ce que c'est que la guerre, ceux du moins qui auparavant n'en avaient rien connu :3 cinq princes des Philistins, et tous les Cananéens et les Sidoniens et les Héviens qui habitaient dans la montagne du Liban, depuis la montagne de Baal-Hermon jusqu'à l'entrée de Hamath ;4 elles étaient laissées pour éprouver par elles Israël, pour savoir s'ils écouteraient les commandements de l'Éternel, qu'il avait commandés à leurs pères par Moïse.5 Et les fils d'Israël habitèrent au milieu des Cananéens, des Héthiens, et des Amoréens, et des Phéréziens, et des Héviens, et des Jébusiens.6 Et ils prirent leurs filles pour femmes, et donnèrent leurs filles à leurs fils, et servirent leurs dieux.
Otniel
7 Et les fils d'Israël firent ce qui est mauvais aux yeux de l'Éternel, et ils oublièrent l'Éternel, leur Dieu, et servirent les Baals et les ashères.8 Et la colère de l'Éternel s'embrasa contre Israël, et il les vendit en la main de Cushan-Rishhathaïm, roi d'Aram-Naharaïm. Et les fils d'Israël servirent Cushan-Rishhathaïm huit ans.9 Et les fils d'Israël crièrent à l'Éternel ; et l'Éternel suscita aux fils d'Israël un sauveur qui les délivra, Othniel, fils de Kenaz, frère puîné de Caleb.10 Et l'Esprit de l'Éternel fut sur lui, et il jugea Israël ; et il sortit pour la guerre, et l'Éternel livra en sa main Cushan-Rishhathaïm, roi d'Aram, et sa main fut forte contre Cushan-Rishhathaïm.11 Et le pays fut en repos quarante ans. Et Othniel, fils de Kenaz, mourut.Éhoud
12 Et les fils d'Israël firent de nouveau ce qui est mauvais aux yeux de l'Éternel, et l'Éternel fortifia Églon, roi de Moab, contre Israël, parce qu'ils faisaient ce qui est mauvais aux yeux de l'Éternel.13 Et Églon assembla auprès de lui les fils d'Ammon et Amalek, et il alla et frappa Israël ; et ils prirent possession de la ville des palmiers.14 Et les fils d'Israël servirent Églon, roi de Moab, dix-huit ans.15 Et les fils d'Israël crièrent à l'Éternel ; et l'Éternel leur suscita un sauveur, Éhud, fils de Guéra, le Benjaminite, qui était gaucher. Et les fils d'Israël envoyèrent par lui un présent à Églon, roi de Moab.16 Et Éhud se fit faire une épée à deux tranchants, longue d'une petite coudée, et il la ceignit par dessous ses vêtements, sur la hanche droite.17 Et il offrit le présent à Églon, roi de Moab ; or Églon était un homme très-gras.18 Et il arriva que lorsqu'il eut achevé d'offrir le présent, il renvoya les gens qui avaient apporté le présent.19 Mais lui s'en revint des images taillées, qui étaient près de Guilgal, et dit : J'ai pour toi une parole secrète, ô roi ! Et il dit : Silence ! Et tous ceux qui étaient près de lui sortirent d'auprès de lui.20 Et Éhud entra vers lui ; or il était assis dans une chambre haute de rafraîchissement, qui était pour lui seul ; et Éhud dit : J'ai une parole de Dieu pour toi. Et le roi se leva de son siège ;21 et Éhud étendit sa main gauche, et prit l'épée de dessus son côté droit, et la lui enfonça dans le ventre ;22 et même la poignée entra après la lame, et la graisse se referma sur la lame ; car il ne retira pas l'épée de son ventre, et elle sortit entre les jambes.23 Et Éhud sortit par le portique, et ferma sur lui les portes de la chambre haute, et mit le verrou.24 Et quand il fut sorti, les serviteurs du roi vinrent, et virent : et voici, les portes de la chambre haute étaient fermées au verrou ; et ils dirent : Sans doute il se couvre les pieds dans la chambre de rafraîchissement.25 Et ils attendirent jusqu'à en avoir honte ; et voici, on n'ouvrait pas les portes de la chambre ; et ils prirent la clef et ouvrirent, et voici, leur seigneur gisait par terre, mort.26 Et Éhud s'était échappé pendant qu'ils tardaient, et avait dépassé les images taillées ; et il se sauva à Sehira.27 Et quand il y fut entré, il arriva qu'il sonna de la trompette dans la montagne d'Éphraïm ; et les fils d'Israël descendirent avec lui de la montagne, et lui devant eux.28 Et il leur dit : Suivez-moi, car l'Éternel a livré en votre main vos ennemis, les Moabites. Et ils descendirent après lui, et enlevèrent à Moab les gués du Jourdain, et ne laissèrent passer personne.29 Et en ce temps-là, ils frappèrent Moab, environ dix mille hommes, tous forts et tous vaillants, et pas un n'échappa.30 Et en ce jour-là, Moab fut abattu sous la main d'Israël ; et le pays fut en repos quatre-vingt ans.Chamgar
31 Et après lui, il y eut Shamgar, fils d'Anath ; et il frappa les Philistins, six cents hommes, avec un aiguillon à boeufs. Et lui aussi sauva Israël.

Samgar. C'est ici un épisode de l'histoire d'Israël qui s'est passé au sud-ouest de la Terre Sainte, du côté des Philistins, pendant le cours des quatre-vingts ans de repos procurés par la victoire d'Ehud. Un conflit quelconque avec les Philistins fut l'occasion de cet exploit de Samgar : car il n'est pas question encore d'une oppression exercée par ce peuple.
Un aiguillon à bœufs. Les agriculteurs en Palestine et en Syrie se servent de cet instrument, surtout pendant les labours. Il a en général 2 à 2,5 m de longueur et, à l'extrémité la plus large, 15 cm de circonférence. Il est muni à l'un des bouts d'une pointe de fer très aiguë, l'aiguillon proprement dit, et à l'autre bout d'une étroite lame de fer pour nettoyer le soc de la charrue de la terre qui s'y attache.
Nous devons nous représenter Samgar à la tête de ses gens qu'il entraînait par son courage.
Lui aussi délivra Israël : la contrée d'Israël la plus voisine des Philistins.
Samgar est le premier des six juges appelés petits.
