|This story took place, most likely, in 1321-1311 BC, in the era of the Biblical Judges. Judge [[Ehud]] held the leadership position at the time. Ironically, Ehud came to his leadership position by assassinating King [[Eglon]] of Moab and raising an insurrection against him. What makes the irony is that a prominent Israelite would actually go out of the Land and across the Jordan River, to live as a resident alien in the country of his people's enemies.
