    18After Ehud brought the tribute payment, he dismissed the people who had carried it.

    19But he went back once he reached the carved images at Gilgal. He said to Eglon,“I have a secret message for you, O king.” Eglon said,“Be quiet!” All his attendants left.

    20When Ehud approached him, he was sitting in his well-ventilated upper room all by himself. Ehud said,“I have a message from God for you.” When Eglon rose up from his seat,

    21Ehud reached with his left hand, pulled the sword from his right thigh, and drove it into Eglon’s belly.

    22The handle went in after the blade, and the fat closed around the blade, for Ehud did not pull the sword out of his belly.

    23As Ehud went out into the vestibule, he closed the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

    24When Ehud had left, Eglon’s servants came and saw the locked doors of the upper room. They said,“He must be relieving himself in the well-ventilated inner room.”

    25They waited so long they were embarrassed, but he still did not open the doors of the upper room. Finally they took the key and opened the doors. Right before their eyes was their master, sprawled out dead on the floor!

    26Now Ehud had escaped while they were delaying. When he passed the carved images, he escaped to Seirah.

    27When he reached Seirah, he blew a trumpet in the Ephraimite hill country. The Israelites went down with him from the hill country, with Ehud in the lead.
