The answer is: Ehud

Judges 3:12,20-21

Ah, the story of Ehud! It’s quite the dramatic tale. Picture it: Eglon, the stout king of Moab, had secured power over Israel, treating them like a weighty burden. Ehud, a left-handed Benjaminite, sees not just a chance for revolt but an opportunity to shake things up significantly! What makes this even more fascinating is that the Bible uses specific terms like "left-handed" to paint a detail about Ehud. In a culture that typically revered right-handedness, being left-handed could have been seen as unusual or even disadvantageous. Yet, it was precisely this trait that allowed him to conceal a sword on his right side—where most would never expect to find it.

Think about the daring nature of his assassination attempt. He cleverly crafted a scenario to gain Eglon's favor, even presenting him with a peace offering—which is both sly and strategic. Movies could scarcely do justice to the vivid imagery that follows: Ehud employs a swift and unexpected attack, and the text leisurely lingers over Eglon's girth, reinforcing the suddenness of the irony.

This episode does double duty in the narrative of Judges; it showcases the cycle of oppression and redemption. Each judge inevitably points to humanity’s flawed efforts against oppressors, inviting reflections toward liberation for the downtrodden over centuries. Biblical echoes trickle down through history, demonstrating how often courage is born from the most surprising aspects of our identities!
