Decision Three: Ehud

One of the principal enemies of the Hebrews were the Moabites. Their king was Eglon, a fat man. 

The leader of the Hebrews was leftie named Ehud. Ehud believed that the Moabites would be useless without their leader, King Eglon. Getting close enough to Eglon to assassinate him would be no easy task.

DECISION: You are Ehud. Is it wise to assasinate Eglon?
