3:15 left-handed (literally restricted in the right hand): This characteristic enabled Ehud to hide his weapon on the right hip. The Greek Old Testament translates this phrase to mean “ambidextrous.” The term used here is associated with the tribe of Benjamin (“son of my right hand,” Gen 35:18; see Judg 20:16) and was connected with heroic military skills (cp. 1 Chr 12:1-2).
• The tribute money was either pieces of metal or, more likely, agricultural goods requiring a team of bearers (Judg 3:18).
