Berean Standard Bible

“But when the Israelites cried out to the LORD, He raised up Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz as a deliverer to save them.”

Judges 3:9

Save as image

Study note

The book of Judges repeats a pattern: Israel forgets God, falls under foreign oppression, cries out, and God raises up a deliverer. Othniel, Caleb's nephew, is the first judge and the model of a faithful one.
