A short Insight into Judges, Chapter 3 By Rabbi Nisson Dov Miller

In this chapter, we see that Egloan, king of Mo'av showed great respect for G-d. In verse twenty, Ehud approaches Egloan as he was sitting and says, “I have a word G-d for you.” Immediately, “He (Egloan) stood up from the chair.” The Darchei Moshe (O.C. 56, 4) writes, “I have found in the Haga'hos Mordechai on the Yerushalmi that from the verse 'Arise, because G-d has spoken to you' -'From here we learn', says R' Eliezer, 'that when we say any “Amen” or respond to something of special kedusha one needs to stand up.'” This is the way the Rama paskens in Shulchan Aruch (O.C. 61)
