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

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

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

16And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

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

18And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bare the tribute.

19But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
