nkjv Judges:3:15-23
nkjv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
nkjv@Judges:3:16 @ Now Ehud made himself a dagger (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.
nkjv@Judges:3:17 @ So he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. (Now Eglon was a very fat man.)
nkjv@Judges:3:18 @ And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who had carried the tribute.
nkjv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned back from the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." He said, "Keep silence!" And all who attended him went out from him.
nkjv@Judges:3:20 @ So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So he arose from his seat.
nkjv@Judges:3:21 @ Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.
nkjv@Judges:3:22 @ Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.
nkjv@Judges:3:23 @ Then Ehud went out through the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
