<p> '''''ē´hud''''' ( אהוּד , <i> ''''''ēhūdh''''' </i> , "united," "strong"): A B enjamite, son of Gera, deliverer of [[Israel]] from oppression by Moab (Jdg 3:15-30). Gaining access alone to the presence of King [[Eglon]] under pretense of a secret errand connected with the payment of Israel's tribute, Ehud, a left-handed man, drew the sword he had concealed upon his right side, and thrust the king through. He locked the doors of the upper chamber after him, made his escape, and with the [[Israelites]] overcame Moab at the fords of the Jordan, slaying some 10,000. Ehud's name occurs again in the [[Benjamite]] genealogy ( 1 Chronicles 7:10 ). </p>
