Vers. 15. But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord stirred up a saviour to them, Ehud the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, a man lame of his right hand: and the children of Israel sent a present by him to Eglon King of Moab.
Vers. 15. But when the chilhren of Israel cried vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred vp a sauiour to them, Ehud the sonne of Gera, the sonne of Iemini, a man lame of his right hand: and the children of Israel sent a present by him to Eglon King of Moab.
The third point and fourth in this second example follow, namely, the 1cry of the people, testifying their repentance, and the Lords mercy, who pitying them, sent them another like Othniel, who should deliver them. The man is named and described in the text. He first slue the King of Moab, and after, ten thousand men of his, strong and good warriors, and so delivered Israel out of bondage. This followeth in the story, but it was necessary for me to mention it here, seeing otherwise, this sending of a present by him to the King of Moab, which the people of Israel are in this verse said to have done, should have been hard to understand, to what end it is set down: whereas the sending of it to him by the men of Israel, was the mean of killing the King of Moab, and the pretence that they had to cover their intent. But more of this afterwards, as the words of the text when I come to them, shall offer occasion. But now let us handle the points that are in this verse, as they lie in order, and as for this time we shall be able.
