Ehud was one of the leaders (or as The Bible says "judges") of Israel after Joshua died. When the nearby country of Moab conquered Israel, their king, Eglon, ruled the Israelites with an iron fist. So God chose Ehud to deliver them from Eglon's harsh rule. The Bible says that Ehud tricked Eglon into thinking that he had a message from God for him and when Eglon leaned over so Ehud could whisper in his ear, Ehud pulled out a knife and stabbed Eglon in his stomach, killing him. Later on, Ehud led the Israelites to war with the Moabites and they won. The Bible says that Israel followed and obeyed God for the eighty years that Ehud was with them, but after he died, the Israelites turned against God, causing Him to punish them. You can learn more about Ehud if you read the third chapter of the book of Judges in the Bible.
