Judges 3:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ The people of Israel were under the rule of Eglon king of Moab for 18 years.

¹⁵ So the people cried to the Lord. And he sent a man to save them. That man was Ehud, who was left-handed. Ehud was the son of Gera from the people of Benjamin. Israel sent Ehud to give Eglon king of Moab the payment he demanded. ¹⁶ Ehud made a sword for himself. The sword had two edges and was about 18 inches long. He tied the sword to his right upper leg under his clothes.
