Judges 3:21-23
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into Eglon’s[a] belly; 22 the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the dirt came out.[b] 23 Then Ehud went out into the vestibule,[c] and closed the doors of the roof-chamber on him, and locked them.

Judges 3:21-23
New International Version
21 Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword(A) from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22 Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. 23 Then Ehud went out to the porch[a]; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
