The author means implicitly that Ehud blew on the shofar to summon the Israelites to battle. The UST models one way to indicate this explicitly.
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
בַּשּׁוֹפָ֖ר
in/on/at/with,trumpet
A shofar is the horn of a ram (a male sheep) that has been made into a musical instrument. If your readers would not be familiar with this, in your translation you could use the name of a similar object that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a loud horn”
3:12-30 In this epic account of intrigue and cunning, Ehud manifested heroic qualities when a coalition of nations from east of the Jordan penetrated the hill country of Ephraim and Benjamin. The cycle follows formulaic language and highlights the repeated apostasy of the people once again.
