Judges 3:15-29

But when the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
the LORD
<03068>
raised them up
<06965> (8686)
a deliverer
<03467> (8688)_,
Ehud
<0164>
the son
<01121>
of Gera
<01617>_,
a Benjamite
<01145>_,
a man
<0376>
lefthanded
<0334> <03225>_:
and by him
<03027>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
a present
<04503>
unto Eglon
<05700>
the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_.
{a Benjamite: or, the son of Jemini} {lefthanded: Heb. shut of his right hand}
But Ehud
<0164>
made
<06213> (8799)
him a dagger
<02719>
which had two
<08147>
edges
<06366>_,
of a cubit
<01574>
length
<0753>_;
and he did gird
<02296> (8799)
it under his raiment
<04055>
upon his right
<03225>
thigh
<03409>_.
And he brought
<07126> (8686)
the present
<04503>
unto Eglon
<05700>
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_:
and Eglon
<05700>
[was] a very
<03966>
fat
<01277>
man
<0376>_.
And when he had made an end
<03615> (8765)
to offer
<07126> (8687)
the present
<04503>_,
he sent away
<07971> (8762)
the people
<05971>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
the present
<04503>_.
But he himself turned again
<07725> (8804)
from the quarries
<06456>
that [were] by Gilgal
<01537>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have a secret
<05643>
errand
<01697>
unto thee, O king
<04428>_:
who said
<0559> (8799)_,
Keep silence
<02013> (8761)_.
And all that stood
<05975> (8802)
by him went out
<03318> (8799)
from him. {quarries: or, graven images}
And Ehud
<0164>
came
<0935> (8804)
unto him; and he was sitting
<03427> (8802)
in a summer
<04747>
parlour
<05944>_,
which he had for himself alone. And Ehud
<0164>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have a message
<01697>
from God
<0430>
unto thee. And he arose
<06965> (8799)
out of [his] seat
<03678>_.
{a summer...: Heb. a parlour of cooling}
And Ehud
<0164>
put forth
<07971> (8799)
his left
<08040>
hand
<03027>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
the dagger
<02719>
from his right
<03225>
thigh
<03409>_,
and thrust
<08628> (8799)
it into his belly
<0990>_:
And the haft
<05325>
also went in
<0935> (8799)
after
<0310>
the blade
<03851>_;
and the fat
<02459>
closed
<05462> (8799)
upon
<01157>
the blade
<03851>_,
so that he could not draw
<08025> (8804)
the dagger
<02719>
out of his belly
<0990>_;
and the dirt
<06574>
came out
<03318> (8799)_.
{the dirt...: or, it came out at the buttocks}
Then Ehud
<0164>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
through the porch
<04528>_,
and shut
<05462> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the parlour
<05944>
upon him, and locked
<05274> (8804)
them.
When he was gone out
<03318> (8804)_,
his servants
<05650>
came
<0935> (8804)_;
and when they saw
<07200> (8799)
that, behold, the doors
<01817>
of the parlour
<05944>
[were] locked
<05274> (8803)_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely he covereth
<05526> (8688)
his feet
<07272>
in his summer
<04747>
chamber
<02315>_.
{covereth...: or, doeth his easement}
And they tarried
<02342> (8799)
till they were ashamed
<0954> (8800)_:
and, behold, he opened
<06605> (8802)
not the doors
<01817>
of the parlour
<05944>_;
therefore they took
<03947> (8799)
a key
<04668>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
[them]: and, behold, their lord
<0113>
[was] fallen down
<05307> (8802)
dead
<04191> (8801)
on the earth
<0776>_.
And Ehud
<0164>
escaped
<04422> (8738)
while they tarried
<04102> (8699)_,
and passed beyond
<05674> (8804)
the quarries
<06456>_,
and escaped
<04422> (8735)
unto Seirath
<08167>_.
And it came to pass, when he was come
<0935> (8800)_,
that he blew
<08628> (8799)
a trumpet
<07782>
in the mountain
<02022>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
went down
<03381> (8799)
with him from the mount
<02022>_,
and he before
<06440>
them.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Follow
<07291> (8798)
after
<0310>
me: for the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
your enemies
<0341> (8802)
the Moabites
<04124>
into your hand
<03027>_.
And they went down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
him, and took
<03920> (8799)
the fords
<04569>
of Jordan
<03383>
toward Moab
<04124>_,
and suffered
<05414> (8804)
not a man
<0376>
to pass over
<05674> (8800)_.
And they slew
<05221> (8686)
of Moab
<04124>
at that time
<06256>
about ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_,
all lusty
<08082>_,
and all men
<0376>
of valour
<02428>_;
and there escaped
<04422> (8738)
not a man
<0376>_.
{lusty: Heb. fat}
