Judges 3:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ Ehud approached him while he was sitting alone in his cool second-story room, and he said, “I have a message from God for you.” At that, Eglon got up from his throne. ²¹ Ehud reached with his left hand and grabbed the sword from his right thigh. He stabbed it into Eglon’s stomach, ²² and even the handle went in after the blade. Since he did not pull the sword out of his stomach, the fat closed over the blade, and his guts spilled out.^[a]
