Ehud ben-Gera
Ehud ben-Gera was a left-handed warrior from the Tribe of Benjamin. He was sent by God to deliver the Israelites from the Moabites. Ehud was a cunning and clever man. He devised a plan to assassinate the Moabite king, Eglon. Ehud made a special dagger that was short enough to hide in his clothes, but long enough to kill the king. He went to see the king and told him that he had a message from God. The king invited Ehud into his private chamber to hear the message. Ehud drew his dagger and stabbed the king in the stomach. The king was so fat that the dagger was hidden inside him. Ehud escaped from the palace and the Moabites were defeated.
