CHARACTERS OF THE BIBLE
OBSCURE
With over 66 books of Scripture covering thousands of years of history, the Bible mentions hundreds of people in great detail (heroes Abraham, David, Paul, for example) and gives others just a passing mention. This Section of Hope Likes will shares the stories of some of the more obscure Bible characters.
EHUD
Ehud ben‑Gera (Hebrew: אֵהוּד בֶּן־גֵּרָא, Tiberian ʾĒhūḏ ben‑Gērāʾ) is described in the biblical Book of Judges chapter 3[1] as a judge who was sent by God to deliver the Israelites from Moabite domination.
Israel was under the oppressive rule of Eglon, the king of Moab, and cried out to the Lord for deliverance. The Moabites worshipped idols and did evil in the sight of the Lord. God sent Ehud and his cubit-long (about a foot and a half) sword to assassinate the king and liberate God’s people from his rule.
Ehud must have been a smooth talker, because when he told the servants of the king that he had a “secret message” for him (Judges 3:19), they left Ehud all alone with the king on a private rooftop. Ehud’s “secret message” was a sword, and the “special delivery” was a fatal stab to the belly of the overweight king! (Read Judges 3:21–22 for a more graphic description.)
Then Ehud quietly locked the doors to the roof to keep the guards out and made a quick getaway. Ehud then gathered the people of Israel to return and conquer the Moabites.
Ehud escaped to the town of Seraiah in Ephraim. He sounded the shofar and rallied the Israelite tribes, who killed the Moabites, cutting off the fords of the Jordan River, and invaded Moab itself, killing about 10,000 Moabite soldiers.
After the death of Eglon, the narrative reports that there was peace in the land for 80 years.
