Meet Ehud.
A judge in Israel's rescue narratives.
Who was Ehud?
Ehud was a judge who delivered Israel from the rule of Eglon of Moab. Judges identifies him as a left-handed Benjaminite. His story includes an assassination and warfare that need careful adult guidance.
The account places Ehud within a cycle of oppression and rescue. It is a difficult ancient narrative, not a model for children to copy when they face disagreement.
