Judges 3:19-26
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. 23Then EhudH164 wentH3318 out into the vestibuleH4528 and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944 behindH1157 him, and lockedH5274 them.
24When he had goneH3318 out, his servantsH5650 cameH935 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944 were lockedH5274; and they saidH559, “1He is onlyH389 2relievingH5526H7272 himself in the coolH4747 roomH2315.” 25They waitedH2342 untilH5704 they 3becameH954 anxiousH954; but beholdH2009, he did not openH6605 the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944. Therefore they tookH3947 the keyH4668 and openedH6605 them, and beholdH2009, their masterH113 had fallenH5307 to the 4floorH776 deadH4191.
26Now EhudH164 escapedH4422 whileH5704 they were delayingH4102, and he passedH5674 by the idolsH6456 and escapedH4422 to SeirahH8167.
