    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.

    24After he was gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, 'He must be relieving himself in the cool inner room.'

    25They waited to the point of embarrassment, but he still did not open the doors of the room. So they took the key and unlocked them, and there was their master fallen to the ground, dead.

    26While they lingered, Ehud escaped, passed by the carved images, and fled to Seirah.

    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.
