ISV(i)
12 Ehud, Israel’s Second JudgeThe Israelis again practiced evil in full view of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon king of Moab in his control over Israel, because they had practiced evil in full view of the LORD.
13 Eglon assembled together the Ammonites and the Amalekites, proceeded to attack Israel, and captured the cities of palms.
14 So the Israelis served king Eglon of Moab for eighteen years.
15 But when the Israelis cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up Gera’s son Ehud, a left-handed descendant of Benjamin, as a deliverer for them. The Israelis paid tribute through him to king Eglon of Moab.
