Judges 3:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ When Ehud finished offering the tribute payment, he sent away the people who carried it. ¹⁹ But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were at Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.”

And he said, “Keep silence!” And all who attended him departed from him.

²⁰ Ehud approached him as he was sitting alone in his cool upper chamber. Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And Eglon rose from his seat.
