Ehud:
(union).
(1.) Ehud son of Bilhah, and great‐grandson of Benjamin the patriarch (1 Chronicles 7:10; 8:6).
(2.) Ehud son of Gera, of the tribe of Benjamin (Judges 3:15) the second judge of the Israelites. (B.C. about 1370) In the Bible he is not called a judge, but a deliverer (l.c.): so Othniel (Judges 3:9) and all the Judges (Nehemiah 9:27). As a Benjamite he was specially chosen to destroy Eglon, who had established himself in Jericho, which was included in the boundaries of that tribe. He was very strong, and left‐handed. SEE [EGLON].
