26. Ehud got away while they were waiting. He went past the carved stones and escaped to Seirah.
27. When he arrived there in the hill country of Ephraim, he blew a trumpet to call the men of Israel to battle; then he led them down from the hills.
28. He said, “Follow me! The Lord has given you victory over your enemies, the Moabites.” So they followed Ehud down and captured the place where the Moabites were to cross the Jordan; they did not allow a single man to cross.
29. That day they killed about 10,000 of the best Moabite soldiers; none of them escaped.
30. That day the Israelites defeated Moab, and there was peace in the land for eighty years.
