Expanded Bible

¹³ Eglon got the ·Ammonites and the Amalekites [^Lsons/descendants of Ammon and Amalek] to join him. Then he attacked Israel and took the city of palm trees [^CJericho]. ¹⁴ So the ·people [^Lsons; ^Tchildren] of Israel were ·ruled by [subject to] Eglon king of Moab for eighteen years.

¹⁵ When the people cried to the Lord, he ·sent someone to save [^Lraised up a rescuer/^Tdeliverer for] them. He was Ehud, son of Gera from the people of Benjamin, who was ·left-handed [^Lbound in the right hand]. Israel sent Ehud to give Eglon king of Moab the ·payment [tribute money] he demanded.
