Ehud Poem by Justin Reamer

O, Ehud,
O great Judge of Israel,
Great leader of the Israelites,
Great servant of God,
How it was known when you demonstrated bravery.

You knew of the oppression of your people
Done by the Moabites,
And Eglon, King of Moab.
You knew,
And the Lord chose you,
And made you His servant,
And you answered His call.
You fought for Him,
And served Him well.

You went to Eglon,
And you gave him a gift,
And you tricked him,
With such treachery,
Yet you showed your faith,
And you skewered the fat king
Into the stomach,
And you fled and led Israel
For many years to come.
May God bless your faith.
