    20And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

    21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

    22And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

    23Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

    24When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

    25And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

    26And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

    27And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

    28And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

    29And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
