Verse
Judges - ch 3 v 21 - 31
- Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:
- and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
- Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
- Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber.
- They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn't open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
- Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
- It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
- He said to them, Follow after me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn't allow a man to pass over.
- They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
- So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. The land had rest eighty years.
- After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck of the Philistines six hundred men with an oxgoad: and he also saved Israel.
