A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 21 is found in chapter 3 of Judges. Ehud makes a short sword and manages to approach Eglon under the pretext of delivering a secret message. After killing the king, he escapes and summons Israel against the Moabites. The story combines irony, strategy, and military deliverance. The victory is not attributed to Israel’s conventional superiority but to God’s intervention through an unexpected deliverer.

Ehud aber reckte seine linke Hand aus und nahm das Schwert von seiner rechten Hüfte und stieß es ihm in seinen Bauch,
Mas Aod metió su mano izquierda, y tomó el puñal de su lado derecho, y metióselo por el vientre;
Alors Ehud avança la main gauche, tira l'épée de son côté droit, et la lui enfonça dans le ventre.
Ed Ehud, dato della man sinistra al pugnale, lo prese d’in su la coscia destra, e gliel ficcò nel ventre.
Então Eúde estendeu a sua mão esquerda, e tirou a espada de sobre sua coxa direita, e lha cravou no ventre,
以笏 伸出左手,從右腿上拔出劍來,刺入王的肚腹。
