Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.

So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.

Then Ehud came in to him while he was seated by himself in his summer-house. And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. And he got up from his seat.

And Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right side, and sent it into his stomach;

Then Ehud went out into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.

But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away to Seirah.

And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord when Ehud was dead.

And the sons of Jediael: Bilhan; and the sons of Bilhan: Jeush and Benjamin and Ehud and Chenaanah and Zethan and Tarshish and Ahishahar.

And Bela had sons, Addar and Gera, the father of Ehud,

And these are the sons of Ehud, heads of families of those living in Geba: Iglaam and Alemeth
