12 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD. 13 And he mobilized the children of Ammon and Amalek against them, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. 14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 15 But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up for them a deliverer, Ehur the son of Gera, of the tribe of Benjamin, a man whose right hand was crippled, and the children of Israel sent a present by him to Eglon the king of Moab. 16 So Ehur made for himself a two edged dagger, and he made it short; and he girded it under his garment on his right thigh. 17 And he brought the present to Eglon king of Moab; and King Eglon was a simple-minded man.
