27 When Ehud came to Seirah, he blew a trumpet there in the hill country of Ephraim. The Israelites heard the trumpet and went down from the hills with Ehud leading them.
28 He said to the Israelites, “Follow me! The Lord has helped us defeat our enemies, the Moabites.” So the Israelites followed Ehud. They went down with him to take control of the places where people could easily cross the Jordan River into the land of Moab. The Israelites did not allow any one to go across the Jordan River.
29 They killed about 10,000 strong and brave men from Moab. Not one Moabite man escaped.
30 So on that day the Israelites began to rule over the Moabites, and there was peace in the land for 80 years.
31 After Ehud saved the Israelites, another man saved Israel. That man’s name was Shamgar son of Anath. Shamgar used an ox goad to kill 600 Philistine men.
