Judges 3:20-23

Living Bible

²⁰ Ehud walked over to him as he was sitting in a cool upstairs room and said to him, “It is a message from God!”

King Eglon stood up at once to receive it, ²¹ whereupon Ehud reached beneath his robe with his strong left hand, pulled out the double-bladed dagger strapped against his right thigh, and plunged it deep into the king’s belly. ^22-23 The hilt of the dagger disappeared beneath the flesh, and the fat closed over it as the entrails oozed out. Leaving the dagger there, Ehud locked the doors behind him and escaped across an upstairs porch.
