00:00Imagine a powerful king, killed by a man nobody expected.
00:05For eighteen years, Israel suffered under Eglon, the ruthless king of Moab.
00:12But God had a plan.
00:13He raised up Ehud, a left-handed man from the tribe of Benjamin, to deliver Israel.
00:20One day, Ehud entered the king's palace carrying tribute and a deadly secret.
00:26Hidden beneath his clothing was a double-edged sword.
00:31After delivering the tribute, Ehud returned and said,
00:34I have a secret message for you, O king.
00:38Curious, Eglon dismissed his servants and stood up.
00:42Then Ehud revealed the message.
00:46In a shocking moment, the mighty king was struck down.
00:50While Eglon's servants waited outside, Ehud escaped and rallied Israel's army.
00:56The Moabites were defeated, and Israel finally found peace for eighty years.
01:02The king who ruled over Israel for eighteen years fell in a moment.
01:08And his story is recorded in Judges chapter 3.
