Judges 3:15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader! do not fail to remark, how grace manifests itself in the heart. When the Lord is about to appear in any remarkable manner, very frequently he sets his people to prayer. And then that promise is fulfilled, Isaiah 65:24. Read another, to the same effect, Isaiah 30:18. This Ehud was the second judge of Israel, after the death of Joshua. It is particularly recorded of him that he was left handed, and a Benjamite. The name Benjamin, signifies the son of the right hand. And therefore it is perhaps mentioned, as being the more remarkable. Jesus, as the deliverer of his people, is emphatically called, the Man of Jehovah's right hand. Psalms 80:17.

Judges 3:15

15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite,c a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
