Judges 3:15-25

15But when the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 1criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068, the LordH3068 raisedH6965 upH6965 a delivererH3467 for them, EhudH164 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, the BenjaminiteH1145, a left-handedH334H3225H3027 manH376. And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 tributeH4503 by 2him to EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124. 16Now EhudH164 madeH6213 himself a swordH2719 which had twoH8147 edgesH6310, a cubitH1574 in lengthH753, and he strappedH2296 it on his rightH3225 thighH3409 underH8478 his cloakH4055. 17Then he presentedH7126 the tributeH4503 to EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124. Now EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376. 18And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3512 he had finishedH3615 presentingH7126 the tributeH4503, that Ehud 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 the king saidH559, “SilenceH2013!” And allH3605 who were attendingH5975 him leftH3318 him. 20Then EhudH164 cameH935 to him while he was sittingH3427 in his coolH4747 roofH5944 chamberH5944 aloneH905. And EhudH164 saidH559, “I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 for you.” And he gotH6965 upH6965 from his seatH3678. 21Then EhudH164 reachedH7971 outH7971 with his leftH8040 handH8040 and tookH3947 the swordH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409, and thrustH8628 it into his bellyH990. 22The hiltH5325 of the sword alsoH1571 wentH935 inH935 afterH310 the bladeH3851, and the fatH2459 closedH5462 overH5704 the bladeH3851 becauseH3588 he did not pullH8025 the swordH2719 outH8025 of his bellyH990; and 3the refuseH6574 cameH3318 outH3318. 23Then EhudH164 wentH3318 outH3318 into the 4vestibuleH4528, and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944 behindH1157 him, and lockedH5274 them.

24When he had leftH3318, 5the king’s servantsH5650 cameH935 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944 were lockedH5274; and they saidH559, “6UndoubtedlyH389 he is 7relievingH5526H7272 himself in the coolH4747 roomH2315.” 25So they waitedH3176 8untilH5704 it would have beenH954 shamefulH954 to wait longer; but beholdH2009, he did not openH6605 the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944. So they tookH3947 the keyH4668 and openedH6605 them, and beholdH2009, their masterH113 had fallenH5307 to the 9floorH776 deadH4191.
