What is notable about Ehud's method of delivering Israel from Moab?

• A. He used a right-handed warrior to strike from behind.
• B. He led a daytime assault with a visible spear.
• C. He was a left-handed judge who used a hidden dagger to assassinate King Eglon.
• D. He negotiated a peace treaty with Moab.

Answer: (C)

Ehud’s method stands out because it relies on covert tactic and his unique trait of being left-handed. He hid a dagger under his clothing on his right thigh, then used a private audience with King Eglon to strike in secret after the guards were dismissed. The assassination isn’t about a public, flashy battle or a peace treaty; it’s about slipping in undetected and delivering a decisive, personal blow that allows Israel to rise up and defeat Moab. This combination of unconventional weapon concealment and a left-handed approach showcases how an unlikely deliverer could bring about deliverance at just the right moment.
