But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 3 of Judges. Israel again does evil, and Eglon, king of Moab, dominates the people together with allies. After eighteen years of oppression, Israel cries out to the Lord, and he raises up Ehud, a left-handed Benjaminite. Ehud’s introduction already contains an important narrative element: a characteristic that might seem secondary will become decisive in his strategy against the Moabite king.

Da schrieen sie zu dem HERRN; und der HERR erweckte ihnen einen Heiland: Ehud, den Sohn Geras, den Benjaminiten, der war links. Und da die Kinder Israel durch ihn Geschenk sandten Eglon, dem König der Moabiter,
Y clamaron los hijos de Israel a Jehová; y Jehová les suscitó salvador, a Aod, hijo de Gera, Benjamita, el cual tenía cerrada la mano derecha. Y los hijos de Israel enviaron con él un presente a Eglón rey de Moab.
Los israelitas clamaron a Jehová, y Jehová les levantó un libertador: Aod, hijo de Gera, un benjamita zurdo. Los israelitas enviaron con él un tributo a Eglón, rey de Moab.
Les enfants d'Israël crièrent à l'Eternel, et l'Eternel leur suscita un libérateur, Ehud, fils de Guéra, Benjamite, qui ne se servait pas de la main droite. Les enfants d'Israël envoyèrent par lui un présent à Eglon, roi de Moab.
Poi i figliuoli d’Israele gridarono al Signore, ed egli suscitò loro un liberatore, cioè: Ehud, figliuolo di Ghera, Beniaminita, il quale era mancino. Or i figliuoli d’Israele mandarono per lui un presente ad Eglon, re di Moab.
Então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao SENHOR, e o SENHOR lhes levantou um libertador, a Eúde, filho de Gera, filho de Jemim, homem canhoto. E os filhos de Israel enviaram pela sua mão um presente a Eglom, rei dos moabitas.
