But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh. (3:16)

And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man. (3:17)

And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present. (3:18)

But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. (3:19)

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of [his] seat. (3:20)

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: (3:21)

And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out. (3:22)

Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them. (3:23)
