Othniel ben Kenaz: Caleb’s half-brother and son-in-law. First of the Judges, a renowned scholar who judged the Israelites for forty years (1228-1188 BCE) following Joshua’s passing. At that time, the Israelites lacked leadership and fell prey to the Aramite king, Cushan-Rishathaim. Othniel successfully liberated the Israelites from this oppression.
After Joshua's death, Othniel shook off the yoke of the oppressor. Ehud slew ten thousand men of the enemy, and Shamgar rescued Israel from the Philistines.
