However, the story of Ehud is part of the broader narrative of the Judges, which is referenced in the New Testament in discussions of faith and deliverance (e.g., Hebrews 11:32, though Ehud is not mentioned by name). Usage: Ehud is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a notable judge of Israel. Context: Ehud is a significant figure in the Book of Judges, known for his role as a deliverer of Israel from Moabite oppression. He is described as a left-handed man from the tribe of Benjamin. Ehud's story is primarily found in Judges 3:12-30. During a period when the Israelites were subject to Eglon, the king of Moab, Ehud was chosen to deliver tribute to the Moabite king. Utilizing his left-handedness to his advantage, Ehud crafted a double-edged sword and concealed it on his right thigh. Upon delivering the tribute, Ehud requested a private audience with King Eglon, claiming to have a secret message. Once alone with the king, Ehud assassinated Eglon by thrusting the sword into his belly, an act that led to the Moabites' defeat and Israel's subsequent peace for eighty years. Ehud's story highlights themes of divine deliverance and the unexpected means by which God can achieve His purposes.
