Read actual text: Judges 3:12-30
Ehud and Shamgar
"Once again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel." (Judges 3:12)
	Judge Ehud and the really fat king Eglon.
"Again the Israelites cried out to the LORD, and he gave them a deliverer—Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute to Eglon king of Moab." (Judges 3:14)
The message from God to King Eglon! (vs. 21-22)
The message of God to Israel! "'Follow me,' he ordered, 'for the LORD has given Moab, your enemy, into your hands.' So they followed him down and, taking possession of the fords of the Jordan that led to Moab, they allowed no one to cross over." (Judges 3:28)
What did Judge Shamgar do? "After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel." (Judges 3:31)
