23Then Ehud went out into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.
24Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.
25And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.
26But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away to Seirah.
27And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.
28And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.
29At that time they put about ten thousand men of Moab to the sword, every strong man and every man of war; not a man got away.
