Judges 3:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ Allied with him were the armies of the Ammonites and the Amalekites. These forces defeated the Israelis and took possession of Jericho, often called “The City of Palm Trees.” ¹⁴ For the next eighteen years the people of Israel were required to pay crushing taxes to King Eglon.

¹⁵ But when they cried to the Lord, he sent them a savior, Ehud (son of Gera, a Benjaminite), who was left-handed. Ehud was the man chosen to carry Israel’s annual tax money to the Moabite capital.
