Judges 3:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ For 18 years the Israelites were under the rule of Eglon, the king of Moab.

¹⁵ Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord. Then he provided someone to save them. The man’s name was Ehud, the son of Gera. Ehud was left-handed. He was from the tribe of Benjamin. The Israelites sent Ehud to Eglon, the king of Moab. They sent him to give the king what he required them to bring him. ¹⁶ Ehud had made a sword that had two edges. It was about a foot and a half long. He tied it to his right leg under his clothes.
