SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:27
Y entrando, tocó la trompeta en el monte de Efraín, y los hijos de Israel descendieron con él del monte, y él iba delante de ellos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And it came to pass, when he was come , That is, to Seirath, ( Judges 3:26), in the tribe of Ephraim: that be blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim ; which being an high mountain, the sound of the trumpet was heard afar off; and if Ehud’s design was known to the Israelites, what he intended to do, this might be the token agreed on, should he succeed, to call them together, (see Jeremiah 31:6); and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them ; being there assembled together, and which might be the place before appointed for their rendezvous, and where and when he took the command of them, and went before them as their general.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-30 - When Israel sins again, God raises up a new oppressor. The Israelite did ill, and the Moabites did worse; yet because God punishes the sin of his own people in this world, Israel is weakened, and Moa strengthened against them. If lesser troubles do not do the work, God will send greater. When Israel prays again, God raises up Ehud. As judge, or minister of Divine justice, Ehud put to death Eglon, the kin of Moab, and thus executed the judgments of God upon him as an enemy to God and Israel. But the law of being subject to principalities an powers in all things lawful, is the rule of our conduct. No suc commissions are now given; to pretend to them is to blaspheme God Notice Ehud's address to Eglon. What message from God but a message of vengeance can a proud rebel expect? Such a message is contained in the word of God; his ministers are boldly to declare it, without fearin the frown, or respecting the persons of sinners. But, blessed be God they have to deliver a message of mercy and of free salvation; the message of vengeance belongs only to those who neglect the offers of grace. The consequence of this victory was, that the land had res eighty years. It was a great while for the land to rest; yet what is that to the saints' everlasting rest in the heavenly Canaan.
