15. Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help. The Lord sent a savior to rescue them. It was Ehud, a left-handed man from the tribe of Benjamin. (Ehud was the son of Gera.)The people sent him with their tax payment to King Eglon of Moab.
16. Ehud made a two-edged dagger for himself. He fastened it to his right side under his clothes.
17. Then he brought the tax payment to King Eglon. (Eglon was a very fat man.)
18. When Ehud had finished delivering the payment, he sent back the men who had carried it.
