Judges 3:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Eglon, the king of Moab, was a very fat man. Ehud gave him the gift he had brought. ¹⁸ After that, Ehud sent away those who had carried it. ¹⁹ When he came to the place where some statues of gods stood near Gilgal, Ehud went back to Eglon. He said, “Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.”

The king said to his attendants, “Leave us!” And all his attendants left him.
