Judges 3:13-15

The Voice

¹³ Eglon allied with the Ammonites and the Amalekites; they went to battle against Israel and defeated them, and they captured the city of palm trees. ¹⁴ The Israelites toiled for Eglon, king of Moab, for 18 years; ¹⁵ but when the people of Israel cried to the Eternal for relief, He raised up a left-handed liberator from among them: Ehud, son of Gera the Benjaminite.

The Israelites sent Ehud to bring tribute to Eglon, king of Moab.
