Faith Bible Institute Semester 3 Old Testament Practice Test

Ehud, a left-handed judge from the tribe of Benjamin in the central highlands, is the deliverer tied to central Israel who killed King Eglon. He approached Eglon’s room with a concealed dagger hidden on his right thigh and struck the Moabite king in the abdomen, then led Israel to victory over Moab. This act broke Moabite domination and brought about a lasting period of peace for about eighty years. The other judges operated in different regions or contexts, so Ehud’s unique connection to central Israel and his method of delivering Israel by kill­ing Eglon set him apart.
