Judges 3:14-26

14And the children of IsraelH3478 servedH5647 EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 eighteen yearsH8141.

15But when the children of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto Jehovah, Jehovah raisedH6965 them up a saviour, EhudH164 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, the Benjamite, a manH376 left-handedH3225. And the children of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 tributeH4503 by him unto EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124. 16And EhudH164 madeH6213 him a swordH2719 which had twoH8147 edges, a cubit in lengthH753; and he girdedH2296 it under his raiment upon his rightH3225 thighH3409. 17And he offered the tributeH4503 unto EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124: now EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376. 18And when he had made an endH3615 of offeringH4503 the tributeH4503, he sentH7971 awayH7971 the peopleH5971 that bare the tributeH4503. 19But he himself turnedH7725 backH7725 from the quarries that were by GilgalH1537, and saidH559, I have a secret errand unto thee, O kingH4428. And he saidH559, Keep silence. And all that stoodH5975 by him wentH3318 out from him. 20And EhudH164 cameH935 unto him; and he was sittingH3427 by himself aloneH905 in the cool upperH5944 roomH5944. And EhudH164 saidH559, I have a message from GodH430 unto thee. And he aroseH6965 out of his seatH3678. 21And EhudH164 put forthH7971 his left handH3027, and tookH3947 the swordH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409, and thrustH8628 it into his body: 22and the haft alsoH1571 wentH3318 in after the bladeH3851; and the fatH2459 closed upon the bladeH3851, for he drewH8025 not the swordH2719 out of his body; and it cameH935 out behind. 23Then EhudH164 wentH3318 forthH3318 into the porch, and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the upperH5944 roomH5944 upon him, and locked them.

24Now when he was goneH3318 out, his servantsH5650 cameH935; and they sawH7200, and, behold, the doorsH1817 of the upperH5944 roomH2315 were locked; and they saidH559, SurelyH389 he is covering his feetH7272 in the upperH5944 chamberH5944. 25And they tarried till they were ashamedH954; and, behold, he openedH6605 not the doorsH1817 of the upperH5944 roomH5944: therefore they tookH3947 the keyH4668, and openedH6605 them; and, behold, their lordH113 was fallenH5307 downH5307 deadH4191 on the earthH776.

26And EhudH164 escapedH4422 while they tarried, and passedH5674 beyond the quarries, and escapedH4422 unto Seirah.
