Ehud, a Benjamite judge who delivered Israel from Moabite oppression; also a descendant of Bilhan.
A proper name borne by two Benjamite figures in the Hebrew Bible. The most prominent Ehud is the left-handed judge of Judges 3:15-30 who assassinated the Moabite king Eglon with a concealed short sword, liberating Israel from eighteen years of subjugation. His story is one of the most vivid narrative episodes in Judges, rich in irony and physical detail. A second Ehud appears in 1 Chronicles 7:10 as a son of Bilhan, possibly a genealogical echo of the same tribal hero.

1. Ehud — The proper name Ehud (אֵהוּד), referring primarily to the Benjamite son of Gera who served as Israel's second major judge (Judg 3:15-26). His left-handedness—notable for a Benjamite ('son of the right hand')—enabled his covert weapon concealment. All translations preserve the name phonetically (spa: Ehud, fra: Éhud, deu: Ehud). The second bearer in 1 Chronicles 7:10 may represent the same ancestral figure at a different genealogical remove. 9×
