3:7 以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，忘記耶和華─他們的上帝，去事奉諸巴力和亞舍拉，
3:8 所以耶和華的怒氣向以色列人發作，就把他們交在美索不達米亞王古珊‧利薩田的手中。以色列人服事古珊‧利薩田八年。
3:9 以色列人呼求耶和華的時候，耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者救他們，就是迦勒兄弟基納斯的兒子俄陀聶。
3:10 耶和華的靈降在他身上，他就作了以色列的士師，出去爭戰。耶和華將美索不達米亞王古珊‧利薩田交在他手中，他便勝了古珊‧利薩田。
3:11 於是國中太平四十年。基納斯的兒子俄陀聶死了。
7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs. 8 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim,[a] to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. 9 But when they cried out to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him, so that he became Israel’s judge[b] and went to war. The Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 11 So the land had peace for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.

這是第一位士師俄陀聶的事蹟，是拯救以色列人脫離美索不達米亞王古珊‧利薩田的手。
而起因是由於「以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，忘記耶和華─他們的上帝，去事奉諸巴力和亞舍拉」。
然而上帝藉由俄陀聶拯救以色列民，只有維持40年的和平，隨著俄陀聶死了，就失去了！
