The Israelites went down with him from the hill country, with Ehud in the lead. 3 3:28 He said to them, “Follow me, for the Lord is about to defeat your enemies, the Moabites!” 4 They followed him, captured the fords of the Jordan River 5 opposite Moab, 6 and did not let anyone cross. 3:29 That day they killed about ten thousand Moabites 7 – all strong, capable warriors; not one escaped. 3:30 Israel humiliated Moab that day, and the land had rest for eighty years.
