Uh, what is consequential about Judges 3:21 and 22? (And I could keep this up all day long... there are so many Scriptures that really make no differences in our lives, if we read them or not.)
Earlier in the story, it was said the Ehud was left-handed. This is significant with warriors and kings, because their training and life experience tells them to keep an eye out on the right hand. Specifically because the right hand is what most people use for weapons, so any movement with right hand is suspect.
But, noper. Ehud was left handed. So he had the time to move his hand without raising suspensions quickly enough to react. And, sure nuff, he did it. He pulled his dagger out quickly and thrust it in all the way to the hilt.
Eglon was fat! Fat enough that the dagger couldn't come out again. The sign of what Ehud had done remained. AND emptying the contents of his bowel really did mean what it seems like it was supposed to mean. He's dead! Really, utterly, not even with a defibrillator on hand, (if such a thing had existed back then), would he be revived, DEAD.
So God not only raised up Ehud, he wanted the Moabs to know who did it, when they figured it out.
According to JFB,
Judges 3:21-26
Ehud put forth his left hand — The whole circumstance of this daring act - the death of Eglon without a shriek, or noise - the locking of the doors - the carrying off the key - the calm, unhurried deportment of Ehud - show the strength of his confidence that he was doing God service.
Why that one? Out of all the stories in the Bible, why do you think that one is inconsequential?
And, if you don't get it, what's wrong with seeking out answers to get it?
