That was me. Left-handed, so the dagger was strapped to my right thigh, under my clothes. Told him I had a message from God for him. Went out through the porch and locked the doors behind me. By the time they found him I was long gone.
He was on the floor. Dead.

Left-handed. Benjamite.
From the tribe of Benjamin, the name means “son of the right hand”, and I’m left-handed. Israel had served Eglon of Moab for eighteen years. They sent me to take him the tribute. I took him something else.
