Judges 3:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ For the next eighteen years the people of Israel were required to pay crushing taxes to King Eglon.

¹⁵ But when they cried to the Lord, he sent them a savior, Ehud (son of Gera, a Benjaminite), who was left-handed. Ehud was the man chosen to carry Israel’s annual tax money to the Moabite capital. ¹⁶ Before he went on this journey, he made himself a double-edged dagger eighteen inches long and hid it in his clothing, strapped against his right thigh.
