| 3:16 |
But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh. |
| 3:17 |
And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man. |
| 3:18 |
And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present. |
| 3:19 |

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of [his] seat. |

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: |
| 3:22 |
And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out. |
