    17He presented the tribute to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man.

    18After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he dismissed the people who had carried it.

    19But he himself turned back at the carved images near Gilgal and said, 'I have a secret message for you, O king.' The king said, 'Silence!' And all his attendants left him.

    20Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace, a room designed to stay cool. Ehud said, 'I have a word from God for you.' As the king rose from his seat,

    21Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh, and drove it into the king's belly.

    22Even the handle went in after the blade, and the fat closed over it, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly. And the excrement came out.

    23Then Ehud went out onto the porch, closed the doors of the upper room behind him, and locked them.

    27When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them.
