Judges 3:16-22
16But EhudH164 madeH6213 him a daggerH2719 which had twoH8147 edgesH6366, of a cubitH1574 lengthH753; and he did girdH2296 it under his raimentH4055 upon his rightH3225 thighH3409.
17And he broughtH7126 the presentH4503 unto EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376.
18And when he had made an endH3615 to offerH7126 the presentH4503, he sent awayH7971 the peopleH5971 that bareH5375 the presentH4503.
19But he himself turned againH7725 from the quarriesH6456 that were by GilgalH1537, and saidH559, I have a secretH5643 errandH1697 unto thee, O kingH4428: who saidH559, Keep silenceH2013. And all that stoodH5975 by him went outH3318 from him.1
20And EhudH164 cameH935 unto him; and he was sittingH3427 in a summerH4747 parlourH5944, which he had for himself alone. And EhudH164 saidH559, I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 unto thee. And he aroseH6965 out of his seatH3678.2
21And EhudH164 put forthH7971 his leftH8040 handH3027, and tookH3947 the daggerH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409, and thrustH8628 it into his bellyH990:
22And the haftH5325 also went inH935 afterH310 the bladeH3851; and the fatH2459 closedH5462 uponH1157 the bladeH3851, so that he could not drawH8025 the daggerH2719 out of his bellyH990; and the dirtH6574 came outH3318.3
