12 And the sons of Israel again did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they had done evil in the eyes of YHWH. 13 And he gathered to himself the sons of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms. 14 And the sons of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years. 15 And the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH, and YHWH raised up a deliverer for them, Ehud son of Gera the Benjamite, a man impeded in his right hand. And the sons of Israel sent by his hand tribute to Eglon king of Moab. 16 And Ehud made himself a dagger, and it had two edges a cubit in length. And he fastened it under his cloak on his right thigh. 17 And he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. And Eglon was a very fat man. Judges 3:12-17, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
