THE STORY.

r sRAEL did not realize how com.
j pletely they were under the infu.
ence OF the people OF Moab until
the king of that neighboring kingdom
demanded an Offering from them. Up
90 this time they had mingled freely
with them without apparently compro-
missing the integrity OF their own ma
ton, for the strength and prestige
which Othniel had brought 10 the
nation continued for several years
after his death.
But as the people began TO yield
90 the evil cnticemcnts OF the Moab.
ties. and share In their idoiatrous
feasts. they were gradually weaned
away from the worship OF their own
God. And this was not all. for they
married the daughters OF the Moab
ties and In turn gave them their
daughters tn wife.
Thus Il was when King Eglon
placed Israel under tribute that they
had not the strength or courage TO
resist True II IL that some OF the
more courageous who had not al
together forgotten their Cog and
turned from him withstood u humil-
Eating demands and refused to make
payment. but when the king sent his
army through the country and had
crushed all opposition he increased
the amount OF the tribute money and
made the burdens OF the people grew
Gus. And TO prevent any armed re-
sistance he removed all implements OF
metal out OF which weapons OF war
might be made. leaving the people
only such simple tools as they need
ed for the cultivation OF the soil.
Now there was a mighty man. a
Bcnjamite named Ehud who was
among those who offered bold resIst-
ance to King Eslon. but when the lat
ter had driven him into the noun
