Ehud

Then he arose out of his seat. 21 Ehud stretched out his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly. 22 in such a manner that 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 excrement came out.
