Judges 3:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ After Ehud had presented the tribute payment, he sent the men who had delivered the tribute on their way. ¹⁹ But after he himself had passed the carved images that were at Gilgal, Ehud turned back and told the king, “I have a secret for you, O king!”

The king said, “Quiet, everyone,” so all his attendants left the room.

²⁰ Ehud approached Eglon as Eglon was sitting in the cool upper chamber, all alone. Ehud said, “I have something from God for you.” So Eglon stood up from the throne.
