The Story of Ehud: Satire & Salvation
Judges 3:7-31
Mocking the power of Israel’s enemies, exalting the power of Israel’s God.
1. Israel serve “the calf”. (v12-14)
2. Israel receive a deliverer from the right tribe–with the wrong hand. (v15)
He delivers a tribute (v15-18)
He delivers a message (v19-20a)
He single-handedly slaughters the calf (v20b-26)
He delivers Israel from their enemies (v27-29)
3. Israel’s enemy is under their hand (v30)
