And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth to them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man -- shut of his right hand), and the sons of Israel send by his hand a present to Eglon king of Moab;

and Ehud maketh for himself a sword, and it hath two mouths (a cubit is its length), and he girdeth it under his long robe on his right thigh;

And Ehud hath come unto him, and he is sitting in the upper chamber of the wall which he hath for himself, and Ehud saith, 'A word of God I have unto thee;' and he riseth from off the throne;

and Ehud putteth forth his left hand, and taketh the sword from off his right thigh, and striketh it into his belly;

And Ehud goeth out at the porch, and shutteth the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and hath bolted it;

And Ehud escaped during their tarrying, and hath passed by the images, and is escaped to Seirath.

And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah when Ehud is dead,
