Cried unto

When the sons of Israel cried to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the sons of Israel to deliver them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble;

I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

When He killed them, then they sought Him,
And returned and searched diligently for God;

Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us,

And the years we have seen evil.

Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

A benjamite

Out of all these people 700 choice men were left-handed; each one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

They were equipped with bows, using both the right hand and the left to sling stones and to shoot arrows from the bow; they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin.

Sent a present

But certain

worthless men said, “How can this one deliver us?” And they despised him and did not bring him any present. But he kept silent.

A man’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great men.

And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

A gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
