New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
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.[a] 23 Then Ehud went out into the vestibule,[b] and closed the doors of the roof-chamber on him, and locked them.
24 After he had gone, the servants came. When they saw that the doors of the roof-chamber were locked, they thought, ‘He must be relieving himself[c] in the cool chamber.’

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.
