Judges 3:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

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. ²¹ Ehud reached out his left hand and took the sword that was on his right thigh and drove it into Eglon’s belly.
