Judges 3:15-29

  15 H1121 But when the children H3478 of Israel H2199 cried [H8799]   H3068 unto the LORD H3068 , the LORD H6965 raised them up [H8686]   H3467 a deliverer [H8688]   H164 , Ehud H1121 the son H1617 of Gera H1145 , a Benjamite H376 , a man H334 lefthanded H3225   H3027 : and by him H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H7971 sent [H8799]   H4503 a present H5700 unto Eglon H4428 the king H4124 of Moab.

  16 H164 But Ehud H6213 made [H8799]   H2719 him a dagger H8147 which had two H6366 edges H1574 , of a cubit H753 length H2296 ; and he did gird [H8799]   H4055 it under his raiment H3225 upon his right H3409 thigh.

  17 H7126 And he brought [H8686]   H4503 the present H5700 unto Eglon H4428 king H4124 of Moab H5700 : and Eglon H3966 was a very H1277 fat H376 man.

  18 H3615 And when he had made an end [H8765]   H7126 to offer [H8687]   H4503 the present H7971 , he sent away [H8762]   H5971 the people H5375 that bare [H8802]   H4503 the present.

  19 H7725 But he himself turned again [H8804]   H6456 from the quarries H1537 that were by Gilgal H559 , and said [H8799]   H5643 , I have a secret H1697 errand H4428 unto thee, O king H559 : who said [H8799]   H2013 , Keep silence [H8761]   H5975 . And all that stood [H8802]   H3318 by him went out [H8799]   from him.

  20 H164 And Ehud H935 came [H8804]   H3427 unto him; and he was sitting [H8802]   H4747 in a summer H5944 parlour H164 , which he had for himself alone. And Ehud H559 said [H8799]   H1697 , I have a message H430 from God H6965 unto thee. And he arose [H8799]   H3678 out of his seat.

  21 H164 And Ehud H7971 put forth [H8799]   H8040 his left H3027 hand H3947 , and took [H8799]   H2719 the dagger H3225 from his right H3409 thigh H8628 , and thrust [H8799]   H990 it into his belly:

  22 H5325 And the haft H935 also went in [H8799]   H310 after H3851 the blade H2459 ; and the fat H5462 closed [H8799]   H1157 upon H3851 the blade H8025 , so that he could not draw [H8804]   H2719 the dagger H990 out of his belly H6574 ; and the dirt H3318 came out [H8799]  .

  23 H164 Then Ehud H3318 went forth [H8799]   H4528 through the porch H5462 , and shut [H8799]   H1817 the doors H5944 of the parlour H5274 upon him, and locked [H8804]   them.

  24 H3318 When he was gone out [H8804]   H5650 , his servants H935 came [H8804]   H7200 ; and when they saw [H8799]   H1817 that, behold, the doors H5944 of the parlour H5274 were locked [H8803]   H559 , they said [H8799]   H5526 , Surely he covereth [H8688]   H7272 his feet H4747 in his summer H2315 chamber.

  25 H2342 And they tarried [H8799]   H954 till they were ashamed [H8800]   H6605 : and, behold, he opened [H8802]   H1817 not the doors H5944 of the parlour H3947 ; therefore they took [H8799]   H4668 a key H6605 , and opened [H8799]   H113 them : and, behold, their lord H5307 was fallen down [H8802]   H4191 dead [H8801]   H776 on the earth.

  26 H164 And Ehud H4422 escaped [H8738]   H4102 while they tarried [H8699]   H5674 , and passed beyond [H8804]   H6456 the quarries H4422 , and escaped [H8735]   H8167 unto Seirath.

  27 H935 And it came to pass, when he was come [H8800]   H8628 , that he blew [H8799]   H7782 a trumpet H2022 in the mountain H669 of Ephraim H1121 , and the children H3478 of Israel H3381 went down [H8799]   H2022 with him from the mount H6440 , and he before them.

  28 H559 And he said [H8799]   H7291 unto them, Follow [H8798]   H310 after H3068 me: for the LORD H5414 hath delivered [H8804]   H341 your enemies [H8802]   H4124 the Moabites H3027 into your hand H3381 . And they went down [H8799]   H310 after H3920 him, and took [H8799]   H4569 the fords H3383 of Jordan H4124 toward Moab H5414 , and suffered [H8804]   H376 not a man H5674 to pass over [H8800]  .

  29 H5221 And they slew [H8686]   H4124 of Moab H6256 at that time H6235 about ten H505 thousand H376 men H8082 , all lusty H376 , and all men H2428 of valour H4422 ; and there escaped [H8738]   H376 not a man.
