20Ehud then went over to where Eglon was sitting alone in his cool upstairs room, and told him, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king got up from his seat,
21Ehud grabbed his sword with his left hand from his right thigh and drove it into Eglon's belly.
22The handle went in with the blade and the fat closed over it. So Ehud didn't pull the sword out, and the king defecated.
23Then Ehud closed and locked the doors, and escaped through the toilet.
24After he had left, the servants came and saw that the doors of the room were locked. “He must be using the toilet,” they concluded.
25So they waited until they couldn't stand it any more, and since he still hadn't opened the doors of the room, they went and found the key and opened the doors. There was their lord, lying dead on the floor.
26While the servants delayed acting, Ehud escaped, passing the stone idols and on to Seirah.
27When he got there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites joined him. They went down from the hills, with Ehud leading them.
28He told them, “Follow me, for the Lord has handed Moab, your enemy, over to you.” So they followed him down and took control of the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab. They didn't let anyone cross.
