Judges 3:16-22

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

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

18And it came about, when he had finished presenting the tribute, that Ehud 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 the king said, “Silence!” And all who were attending him left him.

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

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

22The hilt of the sword also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade because he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and 1the refuse came out.
