Judges 3:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ He had turned away from the idols that were at Gilgal. So he told Eglon, “I have a secret message for you, king.”

King Eglon^[a] responded “Silence!” and all of his attendants left him.

²⁰ Ehud approached him while he was sitting by himself in the cool roof chamber of his palace.^[b] He said, “I have a message from God for you!” So when Eglon^[c] got up from his seat, ²¹ Ehud used his left hand to take the sword from his right thigh and then plunged it into Eglon’s^[d] abdomen.
