And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand. And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them. Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.

And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
