NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² The people of Israel sinned against Jehovah again. Because of this Jehovah made King Eglon of Moab stronger than Israel. ¹³ Eglon joined the Ammonites and the Amalekites. They defeated Israel and captured Jericho, the city of palm trees. ¹⁴ The Israelites were subject to Eglon for eighteen years. ¹⁵ Then the Israelites cried out to Jehovah. So he sent someone to free them. This was Ehud, a left-handed man, who was the son of Gera, from the tribe of Benjamin. The people of Israel sent Ehud to King Eglon of Moab with gifts for him.
