14 and made their lives bitter with ^ohard service, in mortar and ^pbrick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves.

8 Therefore the ^manger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia. And the people of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

14 And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

3 Then the people of Israel ^bcried out to the Lord for help, for he had 900 ^cchariots of iron and he oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years.

2 And the hand of Midian overpowered Israel, and because of Midian the people of Israel made for themselves the ^hdens that are in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.

8 and they crushed and oppressed the people of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the people of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
