15. And the Israelites cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjaminite and a left-handed man. And the Israelites sent a tribute to Eglon king of Moab through him.
16. Ehud made for himself a short, two-edged sword (a cubit in length), and he fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.
17. Then he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
