16and Ehud maketh for himself a sword, and it hath two mouths (a cubit [is] its length), and he girdeth it under his long robe on his right thigh;
17and he bringeth near the present to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon [is] a very fat man.
18And it cometh to pass, when he hath finished to bring near the present, that he sendeth away the people bearing the present,
19and he himself hath turned back from the graven images which [are] at Gilgal, and saith, `A secret word I have unto thee, O king;` and he saith, `Hush!` and go out from him do all those standing by him.
20And Ehud hath come unto him, and he is sitting in the upper chamber of the wall which he hath for himself, and Ehud saith, `A word of God I have unto thee;` and he riseth from off the throne;
21and Ehud putteth forth his left hand, and taketh the sword from off his right thigh, and striketh it into his belly;
22and the haft also goeth in after the blade, and the fat shutteth on the blade, that he hath not drawn the sword out of his belly, and it goeth out at the fundament.
