Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But when the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred them vp a sauiour, Ehud the sonne of Gera the sonne of Iemini, a man lame of his right hande: and the children of Israel sent a present by him vnto Eglon King of Moab. ¹⁶ And Ehud made him a dagger with two edges of a cubite length, and he did gird it vnder his rayment vpon his right thigh, ¹⁷ And he presented ye gift vnto Eglon King of Moab (and Eglon was a very fat man) ¹⁸ And when he had now presented the present, he sent away the people that bare ye present, ¹⁹ But he turned againe from the quarris, that were by Gilgal, and said, I haue a secret errand vnto thee, O King. Who said, Keepe silence: and all that stoode about him, went out from him. ²⁰ Then Ehud came vnto him. (and he sate alone in a sommer parler, which he had) and Ehud said, I haue a message vnto thee from God. Then he arose out of his throne, ²¹ And Ehud put forth his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his bellie, ²² So that the hafte went in after the blade, and the fatte closed about the blade, so that he could not drawe the dagger out of his bellie, but the dirt came out. ²³ Then Ehud gate him out into the porch, and shut the doores of the parler vpon him, and locked them. ²⁴ And when he was gone out, his seruantes came: who seeing that the doores of the parler were locked, they sayd, Surely he doeth his easement in his sommer chamber. ²⁵ And they taryed till they were ashamed: and seeing he opened not the doores of the parler, they tooke the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen dead on the earth. ²⁶ So Ehud escaped (while they taried) and was passed the quarris, and escaped vnto Seirah. ²⁷ And when he came home, he blew a trumpet in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel went downe with him from the mountaine, and he went before them. ²⁸ Then said he vnto them, Follow me: for the Lord hath deliuered your enemies, euen Moab into your hand. So they went downe after him, and tooke the passages of Iorden towarde Moab, and suffred not a man to passe ouer. ²⁹ And they slewe of the Moabites the same time about ten thousand men, all fed men, and all were warriours, and there escaped not a man. ³⁰ So Moab was subdued that daye, vnder the hand of Israel: and the land had rest fourescore yeeres.
