'''Othniel Ben [[Kenaz]]''' ({{Hebrew Name|עָתְנִיאֵל בֶּן קְנַז|ʻOtniʼel Ben Qənaz|ʻOṯnîʼēl Ben Qənaz|"[[lion]] of [[Elohim|God]]"}}) is the first of the [[Biblical Judges]]. His wife [[Achsah]] was the daughter of [[Caleb]] (Josh. 15:16, 17; Judg. 1:13). He gained her hand as a reward for his bravery in leading a successful expedition against [[Debir]]. He was also Caleb's nephew, son of his brother(Joshua 15:17, Talmud Sotah 11b). Some thirty years after the death of [[Joshua]], the Israelites fell under the subjection of [[Chushan-rishathaim]], the king of [[Mesopotamia]]. He oppressed them for a full eight years, when they "cried" unto God, Othniel was raised up to be their deliverer. He was the son of [[Kenaz]], younger brother of Caleb (Judg. 3:8, 9-11). He is the only Judge mentioned connected with the [[Tribe of Judah]]. Under him peace lasted for forty years. After the forty years, Israel fell under the subjection of [[Eglon]], a king of [[Moab]] who defeated Israel with help from [[Ammon]] and [[Amalek]] (Judges 3:12-13). |
