The chapter moves from the general cycle of Judges to three concrete deliverances. Israel first serves Baalim and the groves and is oppressed until the LORD raises Othniel. Later, after renewed evil, Moab dominates Israel until Ehud kills King Eglon and leads Israel to victory. The chapter closes briefly with Shamgar, who delivers Israel from the Philistines.
