Judges 3:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ At the carved images near Gilgal he returned and said, “King Eglon, I have a secret message for you.” The king called for silence, and all his attendants left him. ²⁰ Then Ehud approached him while he was sitting alone in his room upstairs where it was cool. Ehud said, “I have a word from God for you,” and the king stood up from his throne.^{[a] 21} Ehud^[b] reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and plunged it into Eglon’s belly.
