Ehud, one of the judges of Israel, is on a mission to deliver his people from the Moabite king, Eglon. As he reaches the stone images near Gilgal, he returns to the king with a claim of having a secret message. This clever tactic allows him to gain a private audience with the king. Eglon, intrigued by the prospect of a secret, dismisses his attendants, leaving him alone with Ehud. This story illustrates the importance of wisdom and strategy in achieving God's purposes. Ehud's approach is not just about physical strength but also about using intelligence and cunning to overcome oppression. His actions remind us that God often works in unexpected ways and through unexpected people. Ehud's faith and courage in executing God's plan serve as an inspiration, showing that God empowers those who trust in Him to bring about justice and deliverance. It also emphasizes that God can work through ordinary individuals to accomplish extraordinary things, encouraging believers to trust in God's guidance and timing.
But on reaching the stone images near Gilgal, he himself went back to Eglon and said, "Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you." The king said to his attendants, "Leave us!" And they all left.
