⁶ These are the sons of Ehud, who were the heads of the fathers’ houses of the inhabitants of ^(A)Geba, and who forced them to move to ^(B)Manahath:

⁵⁴ The sons of Salma were Bethlehem, the Netophathites, ^[a]Atroth Beth Joab, half of the Manahethites, and the Zorites.

²⁰ So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” So he arose from his seat. ²¹ Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. ²² Even the ^[a]hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out. ²³ Then Ehud went out through the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

²⁴ When he had gone out, ^[b]Eglon’s servants came to look, and to their surprise, the doors of the upper room were locked. So they said, “He is probably ^(A)attending^[c] to his needs in the cool chamber.” ²⁵ So they waited till they were ^(B)embarrassed, and still he had not opened the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them. And there was their master, fallen dead on the floor.

²⁶ But Ehud had escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the ^[d]stone images and escaped to Seirah. ²⁷ And it happened, when he arrived, that ^(C)he blew the trumpet in the ^(D)mountains of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mountains; and ^[e]he led them. ²⁸ Then he said to them, “Follow me, for ^(E)the Lord has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they went down after him, seized the ^(F)fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over. ²⁹ And at that time they killed about ten thousand men of Moab, all stout men of valor; not a man escaped. ³⁰ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And ^(G)the land had rest for eighty years.

¹⁰ The son of Jediael was Bilhan, and the sons of Bilhan were Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tharshish, and Ahishahar.

⁶⁰ And from the tribe of Benjamin: Geba with its common-lands, ^[a]Alemeth with its common-lands, and Anathoth with its common-lands. All their cities among their families were thirteen.

⁵² And Shobal the father of Kirjath Jearim had descendants: ^[a]Haroeh, and half of the ^[b]families of Manuhoth.

The Family of Jerahmeel

²⁵ The sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron, were Ram, the firstborn, and Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah.

4 When Ehud was dead, ^(A)the children of Israel again did ^(B)evil in the sight of the Lord.

^21 (A)The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, ^(B)Ehi, Rosh, ^(C)Muppim, ^[a]Huppim, and Ard.
