Judges 3:12-15

12Once again, the people of Israel did what the Lord considered evil. So the Lord made King Eglon of Moab stronger than Israel, because Israel did what the Lord considered evil.

13Eglon got the Ammonites and the Amalekites to help him, and they defeated the Israelites and occupied the City of Palms.

14The Israelites served King Eglon of Moab for 18 years.

15Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help. The Lord sent a savior to rescue them. It was Ehud, a left-handed man from the tribe of Benjamin. (Ehud was the son of Gera.) The people sent him with their tax payment to King Eglon of Moab.
