Judges 3:16-23
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.
