Judges 3:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ Ehud then went out to the vestibule,^[a] shut the doors of the upper chamber behind him, and locked them. ²⁴ Then off he went!

When Eglon’s servants came back, they were surprised to see that the doors of the upper chamber were locked. They said, “He must be using the toilet.”^{[b] 25} They waited until the delay became embarrassing, but no one opened the doors to the upper chamber. Finally they took the key and opened the door. And there he was. Their master was lying on the ground—dead!
