But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon king of Moab.

But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlor, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from 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 parlor upon him, and locked them.

And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.

And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud was dead.
