Judges 3:12-15

New King James Version

Ehud

^12 (A)And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord strengthened ^(B)Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord. ¹³ Then he gathered to himself the people of Ammon and ^(C)Amalek, went and ^[a]defeated Israel, and took possession of ^(D)the City of Palms. ¹⁴ So the children of Israel ^(E)served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.

¹⁵ But when the children of Israel ^(F)cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a ^(G)left-handed man. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
