Judges 3:19-26

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.

23And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.

24And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.

25And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.

26And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
