Judges 3:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible
23 Ehud went out of the room and he locked the doors. Then he escaped from the palace.
24 The king's servants came up to the room on the roof. They saw that the doors were locked. They thought that the king was using the toilet inside. 25 They waited for a long time and they started to worry. But the king still did not open the doors of his room. So they took the key and they opened the doors. Then they saw their master, the king! He was lying on the floor and he was dead.

23 Then Ehud went out to the porch[a]; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
24 After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, “He must be relieving himself(A) in the inner room of the palace.” 25 They waited to the point of embarrassment,(B) but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead.
