Judges
Othniel son of Kenaz is presented as the first judge who delivered Israel (Judges 3:9–11). The text says the Spirit of the LORD came upon him and the land had rest for forty years (Judges 3:10–11).
9When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb`s younger brother.
10The Spirit of Yahweh came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan- rishathaim.
11The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
