His account is primarily found in <a href="/judges/3-12.htm">Judges 3:12-30</a>. Ehud, the son of Gera, was a Benjamite and notably left-handed, a detail that plays a crucial role in his mission to free Israel from Moabite domination.<br><br><b>Historical Context</b><br><br>The period of the Judges was marked by a cyclical pattern of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance among the Israelites. After the death of Othniel, the first judge, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD, leading to their subjugation by Eglon, the king of Moab. Eglon, with the help of the Ammonites and Amalekites, captured the City of Palms (Jericho) and oppressed Israel for eighteen years (<a href="/judges/3-12.htm">Judges 3:12-14</a>).<br><br><b>Ehud's Mission</b><br><br>In response to Israel's cries for help, God raised up Ehud as a deliverer. Ehud was chosen to bring tribute to Eglon, a task that provided him the opportunity to execute a daring plan. His left-handedness allowed him to conceal a double-edged sword on his right thigh, a strategic advantage since it was unexpected (<a href="/judges/3-15.htm">Judges 3:15-16</a>).<br><br><b>Assassination of Eglon</b><br><br>Ehud's plan unfolded when he presented the tribute to Eglon. Afterward, he requested a private audience with the king, claiming to have a secret message from God. Eglon, intrigued, dismissed his attendants, allowing Ehud to approach him alone. Ehud then drew his concealed sword and thrust it into Eglon's belly, killing him. The text vividly describes how the sword was swallowed by Eglon's fat, emphasizing the completeness of the act (<a href="/judges/3-17.htm">Judges 3:17-22</a>).<br><br><b>Escape and Victory</b><br><br>Following the assassination, Ehud locked the doors of the upper room and made his escape. Eglon's servants, assuming he was relieving himself, delayed in checking on him, giving Ehud ample time to flee. Ehud then rallied the Israelites by blowing a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, leading them to seize the fords of the Jordan and cut off the Moabites' retreat. The Israelites struck down about ten thousand Moabite warriors, securing an eighty-year period of peace (<a href="/judges/3-23.htm">Judges 3:23-30</a>).<br><br><b>Significance</b><br><br>Ehud's account highlights themes of divine deliverance and the unexpected means by which God can achieve His purposes. His left-handedness, often seen as a disadvantage, became a tool for liberation. Ehud's courage and cunning are celebrated as instruments of God's justice, demonstrating that God can use unlikely individuals to fulfill His plans.<br><br><b>Legacy</b><br><br>Ehud's successful deliverance of Israel from Moabite oppression is a testament to God's faithfulness in responding to the cries of His people. His account serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and the power of God to use unconventional methods to achieve His will. Ehud's legacy is one of faith, bravery, and divine intervention in the history of Israel.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ehud</span><p>he that praises<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ehud</span><p>(<i>union</i>). <ol> <li>Ehud son of Bilhah, and great-grandson of Benjamin the patriarch.

(<a href="/nehemiah/9-27.htm">Nehemiah 9:27</a>) As a Benjamite he was specially chosen to destroy Eglon, who had established himself in Jericho, which was included in the boundaries of that tribe.

After the death of Othniel the people again fell into idolatry, and Eglon, the king of Moab, uniting his bands with those of the Ammonites and the Amalekites, crossed the Jordan and took the city of Jericho, and for eighteen years held that whole district in subjection, exacting from it an annual tribute. At length Ehud, by a stratagem, put Eglon to death with a two-edged dagger a cubit long, and routed the Moabites at the fords of the Jordan, putting 10,000 of them to death. Thenceforward the land, at least Benjamin, enjoyed rest "for fourscore years" (<a href="/judges/3-12.htm">Judges 3:12</a>-30). (see <a href="../q/quarries.htm">QUARRIES </a>.)

He locked the doors of the upper chamber after him, made his escape, and with the Israelites overcame Moab at the fords of the Jordan, slaying some 10,000.
