Judges 3:12-30

12And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 againH3254 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 strengthenedH2388 EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 against IsraelH3478, because they had doneH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. 13And he gatheredH622 to him the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and AmalekH6002, and wentH3212 and smoteH5221 IsraelH3478, and possessedH3423 the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558H5899. 14So the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 servedH5647 EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 eighteenH8083H6240 yearsH8141. 15But when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 to the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 raised them upH6965 a delivererH3467, EhudH164 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145, a manH376 lefthandedH334H3225: and by himH3027 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 tributeH4503 to EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124.12 16But EhudH164 madeH6213 him a daggerH2719 which had twoH8147 edgesH6366, of a cubitH1574 lengthH753; and he girdedH2296 it under his raimentH4055 upon his rightH3225 thighH3409. 17And he broughtH7126 the tributeH4503 to EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376. 18And when he had finishedH3615 offeringH7126 the tributeH4503, he sent awayH7971 the peopleH5971 that boreH5375 the tributeH4503. 19But he himself turned backH7725 at the quarriesH6456 that were by GilgalH1537, and saidH559, I have a secretH5643 errandH1697 to thee, O kingH4428: who saidH559, Keep silenceH2013. And all that stoodH5975 by him went outH3318 from him.3 20And EhudH164 cameH935 to him; and he was sittingH3427 in a summerH4747 parlourH5944, which he had for himself alone. And EhudH164 saidH559, I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 to thee. And he aroseH6965 from his seatH3678.4 21And EhudH164 put forthH7971 his leftH8040 handH3027, and tookH3947 the daggerH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409, and thrustH8628 it into his bellyH990: 22And the handleH5325 also enteredH935 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 outH3318.5 23Then EhudH164 went forthH3318 through the porchH4528, and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944 upon him, and lockedH5274 them. 24When he had gone outH3318, his servantsH5650 cameH935; and when they sawH7200 that, behold, the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944 were lockedH5274, they saidH559, Surely he coverethH5526 his feetH7272 in his summerH4747 chamberH2315.6 25And they tarriedH2342 till they were ashamedH954: and, behold, he openedH6605 not the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944; therefore they tookH3947 a keyH4668, and openedH6605 them : and, behold, their lordH113 layH5307 deadH4191 on the earthH776. 26And EhudH164 escapedH4422 while they tarriedH4102, and passed beyondH5674 the quarriesH6456, and escapedH4422 to SeirathH8167. 27And it came to pass, when he had comeH935, that he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782 in the mountainH2022 of EphraimH669, and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went downH3381 with him from the mountH2022, and he beforeH6440 them. 28And he saidH559 to them, FollowH7291H310 me: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 your enemiesH341 the MoabitesH4124 into your handH3027. And they went downH3381 afterH310 him, and tookH3920 the fordsH4569 of JordanH3383 toward MoabH4124, and permittedH5414 not a manH376 to pass overH5674. 29And they slewH5221 of MoabH4124 at that timeH6256 about tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376, all stoutH8082, and all menH376 of valourH2428; and there escapedH4422 not a manH376.7 30So MoabH4124 was subduedH3665 that dayH3117 under the handH3027 of IsraelH3478. And the landH776 had restH8252 eightyH8084 yearsH8141.
