Judges 3:23-25
Legacy Standard Bible
23 Then Ehud went out into the vestibule and shut the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them.
24 Now he went out, and his servants came in and looked, and behold, the doors of the roof chamber were locked; and they said, “(A)He is surely [a]relieving himself in the cool room.” 25 Then they waited until they were ashamed; but behold, he did not open the doors of the roof chamber. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their master had fallen to the [b]floor dead.

Judges 3:23-25
New International Version
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.
