Read 3.12-31. In 3.12--30 Ehud. In verse 13: The city of palms is Jericho. In verses 15-16: That Ehud was left-handed lets him hide his short sword (with two edges for stabbing) in an unexpected place on his right thigh. In verse 20:Eglon rose from his seat, expecting to hear a divine oracle. In verse 24: Readers would enjoy rough humor at the expense of their enemies. The delay gives Ehud time to escape and raise a rebellion. In verse 28: Holding the fords of the Jordan prevented the enemy from escaping back across to Moab. In verse 31: Shamgar. Since 4.1 refers to Ehud, this mysterious figure (compare 5.6) is not part of the book system of judges. since son of indicates membership in a group or class and Anath was a war goddess, Shamgar may have been a mercenary.
