Judges 3:16-23

16And EhudH164 madeH6213 him a swordH2719 whichH2719 had twoH8147 edgesH6366, of a cubitH1574 lengthH753; and he girdedH2296 it underH8478 his raiment uponH5921 his rightH3225 thighH3409.

17And he offeredH7126 the presentH7126 unto EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124: now EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376.

18And when he had madeH1961 an endH3615 of offering the presentH7126, he sentH7971 awayH7971 the peopleH5971 that bareH3615 the presentH7126.

19But he himselfH1931 turnedH7725 backH7725 from the quarries that were by GilgalH1537, and saidH559, I have a secret errand unto thee, O kingH4428. And he saidH559, KeepH2013 silenceH2013. And allH3605 that stoodH5975 by him wentH3318 outH3318 from him.

20And EhudH164 cameH935 unto him; and he was sittingH3427 by himselfH1931 aloneH905 in his summer parlour. And EhudH164 saidH559, I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 unto thee. And he aroseH6965 outH5921 of his seatH3678.

21And EhudH164 putH7971 forthH7971 his leftH8040 handH3027, and tookH3947 the swordH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409, and thrustH8628 it intoH5921 his bellyH990:

22and the haft also wentH3318 in afterH310 the bladeH3851; and the fatH2459 closedH5462 uponH935 the bladeH3851, for he drewH8025 notH3808 the swordH2719 outH3318 of his bellyH990; and it cameH935 outH3318 behindH310.

23Then EhudH164 wentH3318 forthH3318 intoH3318 the porch, and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the parlour upon him, and lockedH5462 them.
