Judges 3:15-22

15And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.

16And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.

17And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.

18And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.

19But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.

20And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from 1God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.

21Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;

22and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.
