Show Notes

After Othniel’s death, the people of Israel sinned and fell to the king of Moab, serving him for 18 years (Judges 3:13–14). When the Israelites cried out for help, God sent Ehud to serve as judge. Ehud was the son of Gera and belonged to the tribe of Benjamin. He was also noted as a left-handed man (Judges 3:15). This detail would become important to the success of his mission.

 

In Part 1 of this dramatic two-part account, we learn about Eglon, the king of Moab, and how he subjugated the children of Israel. However, after suffering for a long time, the people turn to God and he hears their cry.
