Judges 3:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁸ When Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent the people who carried the tribute on their way. ¹⁹ But he himself turned back at the sculptured stones near Gilgal, and said, ‘I have a secret message for you, O king.’ So the king said,^[a] ‘Silence!’ and all his attendants went out from his presence. ²⁰ Ehud came to him, while he was sitting alone in his cool roof-chamber, and said, ‘I have a message from God for you.’ So he rose from his seat.
