Judges 3:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ The Israelites toiled for Eglon, king of Moab, for 18 years; ¹⁵ but when the people of Israel cried to the Eternal for relief, He raised up a left-handed liberator from among them: Ehud, son of Gera the Benjaminite.

The Israelites sent Ehud to bring tribute to Eglon, king of Moab. ¹⁶ Before he set out, Ehud made for himself a double-edged sword about 18 inches in length, and he fastened it onto his right thigh, hidden under his clothes.
