Ehud
        (union).
        1. Ehud son of Bilhah, and great-grandson of Benjamin the patriarch. 1Ch 7:10; 8:6
        2. Ehud son of Gera, of the tribe of Benjamin, Jud 3:15 the second judge of the Israelites. (B.C. about 1370.) In the Bible he is not called a judge, but a deliverer (l.c.): so Othniel, Jud 3:9 and all the Judges. Ne 9:27 As a Benjamite he was specially chosen to destroy Eglon, who had established himself in Jericho, which was included in the boundaries of that tribe. He was very strong, and left-handed. [EGLON]
