Judges 3

Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man...Now Eglon was a very fat man. v.17

Read chapter 3
Random facts and verses that Ehud was left handed and that Eglon, the king of Moab, was a very fat man.  Very little in scripture do we read of physical characteristics of people and when we do there's always a reason behind this information recorded for us to know.  So why do you think this is here about this man being left-handed and another being fat?  Well if you read the whole chapter you'll see the correlation with his death. God had raised up Ehud to be judge over Israel but he had to get Israel out of the oppression of Moab first (and once he did they had peace for 80 years).  Ehud went to present tribute as a way in to the king and since he was left-handed his dagger was on his right thigh where most men being right-handed would place a dagger on their left thigh, so most likely his right thigh was overlooked by any security that the king would have had.  Eglon being called so fat was probably too slow to fight back or jump out of the way.  Thus the two physical traits of these two men led to their rise and destruction.  Can you think of physical traits mentioned in the bible of other people and it's purpose?
