Contextual Overview
12 But the people of Isra'el again did what was evil from Adonai 's perspective, so Adonai strengthened ‘Eglon the king of Mo'av against Isra'el, because they had done what was evil from Adonai 's perspective. 13 In confederation with the people of ‘Amon and ‘Amalek, ‘Eglon went out and defeated Isra'el, capturing the City of Date-Palms; 14 and the people of Isra'el served ‘Eglon the king of Mo'av eighteen years. 15 But when the people of Isra'el cried out to Adonai , Adonai raised up for them a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, from the tribe of Binyamin, a left-handed man. The people of Isra'el appointed him to take their tribute to ‘Eglon the king of Mo'av. 16 Ehud made himself a double-edged sword eighteen inches long and strapped it to his right thigh under his clothes. 17 Then he presented the tribute to ‘Eglon king of Mo'av. Now ‘Eglon was a very fat man. 18 When he had finished presenting the tribute, he dismissed the people who had brought it. 19 But he himself, after reaching the quarries at Gilgal, went back and said, "King, I have a secret message for you." The king commanded silence, and all his attendants withdrew. 20 Ehud came to him; he was sitting alone by himself in his upstairs room, where it was cool. Ehud said: "I have a message from God for you." As the king arose from his seat, 21 Ehud reached out with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into the king's belly.
