The second cycle of Judges follows the same pattern established in the previous section: Israel's disobedience, God’s discipline through a foreign aggressor, Israel’s cry for help, and God’s response of sending a deliverer—this time, a left-handed man named Ehud. In a story filled with subterfuge, violence, and stomach-churning details, we also find an unlikely leader in Ehud, a man of initiative and courageous faith who creates and seizes opportunities to advance the plan and purposes of God.
Judges 3:12-31
