EHUD, in the Old Testament, a "judge" who delivered Israel from the Moabites (Judges iii. 12-30), by assassinating Eglon, king of Moab, and raising the tribe of Ephraim to seize and hold the fords against the fleeing Moabite garrisons. He is called the son of Gera, a Benjamite, but since Gera and Ehud are tribal names, it has been supposed that this notice is not original. See further BENJAMIN, JUDGES.
