But when the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the sons of Israel sent a present to Eglon the king of Moab by him.

But Ehud made himself a dagger which had two edges, a cubit long. And he tied it under his clothing upon his right thigh.

And Ehud came to him. And he was sitting in the cool roof room which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to you. And he rose 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.

Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the room upon him, and locked them.

And Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirath.

And the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah when Ehud was dead.
