13. And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.
14. And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15. And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.
16. And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.
17. And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
18. And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.
