BRAGADAYJAH 708
Ehud stabbed the Amorite king in the gut and looking the door shutting the
king in he made his escape. For when the
king’s servants came and found the door locked, they assumed that the king was attending
to himself, and so they waited and waited until they could surely wait no
longer, and they opened the door with a key and found their lord dead on the
floor. In the meantime Ehud had bought sufficient time to escape and he did so
and escaped as far away as Seirath, and having arrived there, he blew a trumpet
in the mountain of Ephraim and the children of Israel gathered unto him; and he
lead them from there. And he said unto them, “follow after me, for the Lord has
delivered your enemies, the Moabites into your hand; and so Ehud led them and
thy followed him and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab and suffered not a
man to pass. And at that time they slew about ten thousand Moabites, mighty men
of valor and not one of them escaped. So Moab was subdued that day under Ehud,
and Israel had rest eighty years. And
after Ehud was Shamgar the son of Anath who slew of the Philistines 600 men
with an ox goad and he too delivered Israel.
