Judges 3:16-23

16Now Ehud made himself a dagger (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.

17So he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. (Now Eglon was a very fat man.)

18And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who had carried the tribute.

19But he himself turned back from the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” He said, “Keep silence!” And all who attended him went out from him.

20So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” So he arose from his seat.

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

22Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.

23Then Ehud went out through the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
