EHUD

1. Judge of Israel from Benjamin’s tribe who delivered Israel from Eglon, king of the Moabites (Jgs 3:12-30 (RV · LV · Read together)). He was notable because he was left-handed (Hebrew “hindered in the right hand”). Before taking Israelite tribute to Eglon, he made an iron dagger, with which he assassinated the unsuspecting Eglon during a private audience. He then rallied the Israelites west of the Jordan to encircle the Moabite troops before they could return south to Moab. When the 18-year rule of Eglon over the Israelites ended, an 80-year period of peace began.

2. Bilhan’s son, a member of Benjamin’s tribe (1 Chr 7:10 (RV · LV · Read together); 8:6 (RV · LV · Read together)).
