Judges 3:16-22
16EhudH164 madeH6213 himself a swordH2719 which had twoH8147 edgesH6310, a cubitH1574 in lengthH753, and he boundH2296 it on his rightH3225 thighH3409 underH8478 his cloakH4055.
17He presentedH7126 the tributeH4503 to EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124. Now EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376.
18It cameH1961 about whenH3512 he had finishedH3615 presentingH7126 the tributeH4503, that he sentH7971 awayH7971 the peopleH5971 who had carriedH5375 the tributeH4503.
19But he himselfH1931 turnedH7725 backH7725 from the idolsH6456 whichH834 were at GilgalH1537, and saidH559, “I have a secretH5643 messageH1697 for you, O kingH4428.” And he saidH559, “KeepH2013 silenceH2013.” And allH3605 who attendedH5975 him leftH3318 him.
20EhudH164 cameH935 to him while he was sittingH3427 aloneH905 in his coolH4747 roofH5944 chamberH5944. And EhudH164 saidH559, “I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 for you.” And he aroseH6965 from his seatH3678.
21EhudH164 stretchedH7971 out his leftH8040 handH8040, tookH3947 the swordH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409 and thrustH8628 it into his bellyH990.
22The handleH5325 alsoH1571 wentH935 in afterH310 the bladeH3851, and the fatH2459 closedH5462 overH5704 the bladeH3851, for he did not drawH8025 the swordH2719 out of his bellyH990; and the refuseH6574 cameH3318 out.
