23Then EhudH164 wentH3318 outH3318 into the 1vestibuleH4528, and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944 behindH1157 him, and lockedH5274 them.

24When he had leftH3318, 2the king’s servantsH5650 cameH935 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the doorsH1817 of the roofH5944 chamberH5944 were lockedH5274; and they saidH559, “3UndoubtedlyH389 he is 4relievingH5526H7272 himself in the coolH4747 roomH2315.” 25So they waitedH3176 5untilH5704 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 6floorH776 deadH4191.
