Who defeated the king of Mesopotamia and delivered southern Israel from oppression?

Explanation:
The situation tests identifying the judge who delivered Israel from the Mesopotamian oppressor Cushan-Rishathaim. Othniel, Caleb’s younger brother from the tribe of Judah, rose up as a deliverer and defeated Cushan-Rishathaim, ending eight years of oppression. This victory brought rest to the land for forty years and marks the first recorded deliverance in the Book of Judges. The other figures listed come from different oppressors in other periods (Ehud from Moab, Deborah/Barak from Canaan under Jabin, Gideon from Midian), so the one tied specifically to Mesopotamia is Othniel.
