Judges 3:23-25

23Then Ehud went out into the 1vestibule, and shut the doors of the roof chamber behind him, and locked them.

24When he had left, 2the king’s servants came and looked, and behold, the doors of the roof chamber were locked; and they said, “3Undoubtedly he is 4relieving himself in the cool room.” 25So they waited 5until it would have been shameful to wait longer; but behold, he did not open the doors of the roof chamber. So they took the key and opened them, and behold, their master had fallen to the 6floor dead.
