And it came to pass, when Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to task work, and did not utterly drive them out.

But when the sons of Israel cried to LORD, LORD raised up for them a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the sons of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.

And Gilead's wife bore sons to him. And when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shall not inherit in our father's house, for thou are the son of another woman.

And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and LORD blessed him.

However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
