27 There in the hill country of Ephraim he blew a trumpet. Then he led the people of Israel down from the hills.
28 "Follow me," Ehud ordered. "The Lord has handed your enemy Moab over to you." So they followed him down. They took over the only places where people could go across the Jordan River to get to Moab. They didn't let anyone go across.
29 At that time they struck down about 10,000 men of Moab. All of those men were strong and powerful. But not even one escaped.
30 That day Moab was brought under the rule of Israel. So the land was at peace for 80 years.
