Judges 3:13-18 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and struck Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

14. So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

15. But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent tribute unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16. But Ehud made himself a dagger which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he did gird it under his clothes upon his right thigh.

17. And he brought the tribute unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

18. And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people that bore the tribute.
