Judges 3 (Othniel)

 

^{14 (DH)} And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

This might have been when Jericho was burned, the archaelogical date being 1311 bce.

 

This was also the period in which Jacob dominated the West Bank, beginning his campaign against the other cults in 1302 bce.
