Judges 3:16-22

16Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his cloak.

17He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.

18It came about when he had finished presenting the tribute, that he sent away the people who had carried the tribute.

19But he himself turned back from the idols which were at Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he said, “Keep silence.” And all who attended him left him.

20Ehud came to him while he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And he arose from his seat.

21Ehud stretched out his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly.

22The handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the refuse came out.
