Lead with Faith

Commentators note that Ehud models faith-filled leadership. He doesn't just command from a distance; he says, "Follow after me," leading from the front. Crucially, he immediately attributes the coming victory to God, declaring, "Jehovah hath delivered your enemies into your hand." His confidence was not in himself, but in God's promise and power, inspiring the people to act.
