Judges 3:27,28

Judges 3:27,28 And it came to pass, when [Ehud] was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them. And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand … Once again, God had to deliver rebellious Israel into the hands of Eglon, king of Moab. Eglon and his confederates, the Ammonites and Amalekites, ruled over Israel for several years. God commissioned Ehud to assassinate Eglon to rescue Israel. Now Eglon was a huge man and couldn’t get around very well. Ehud came to his palace with gifts and presents. After his presentation, Ehud whispered that he had a secret to tell the king. Eglon was excited and told him to just hold on for a minute. Eglon sent everyone out and eagerly waited for the secret message. When all of the servants were outside and they were alone, Ehud drew out his dagger and gave Eglon the message from God! Eglon fell down dead. Ehud locked the door and escaped out of a window, down a trellis, and off to safety. Eglon’s servants waited and waited. They tried the door, but it was locked, and they were nervous to interrupt their king. But the longer they waited, the more embarrassed they became. When they finally forced open the door and found their king dead, Ehud had made his escape and was well on his way to Israel. Ehud blew the trumpet, gathered the army, and defeated the enemies of God. God watched over Ehud and gave him wisdom.
