Judges 3:18-21

Amplified Bible

¹⁸ And when Ehud had finished presenting the ^[a]tribute, he sent away the people who had carried it. ¹⁹ But Ehud himself turned back from the ^[b]sculptured stones at Gilgal, [and he returned to Eglon] and said [to him], “I have a secret message for you, O king.” Eglon said “Keep silence.” And all who attended him left him. ²⁰ Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his [private] cool upper chamber, and Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And the king got up from his seat. ²¹ Then Ehud reached out with his left hand and took the sword from his right thigh, and plunged it into Eglon’s belly.
