    14The Israelites were subject to King Eglon of Moab for eighteen years.

    15When the Israelites cried out for help to the LORD, he raised up a deliverer for them. His name was Ehud son of Gera the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The Israelites sent him to King Eglon of Moab with their tribute payment.

    16Ehud made himself a sword– it had two edges and was eighteen inches long. He strapped it under his coat on his right thigh.

    17He brought the tribute payment to King Eglon of Moab.(Now Eglon was a very fat man.)

    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!
