Judges 3:21-27

²¹And Ehud held forth his left hand, and took his sword from his right hip; and he put it into the king’s womb so strongly,

²²that the pommel, either hilt, followed the iron in(to) the wound, and was holden strait in the thickest fatness within; and Ehud drew not out the sword, but so as he had smitten Eglon (or but as he had so struck Eglon), he left it in his body; and anon (or at once) by the privates of (man)kind, the turds of the womb burst out.

²³Forsooth when the doors of the parlour were closed most diligently, and fastened with lock, (And when he had quietly closed the parlour doors, and fastened them with a lock,)

²⁴Ehud went out by a porch (or Ehud went out by the porch). And (soon after) the king’s servants entered, not into the parlour, but into the porch, and they saw the doors of the parlour closed, and they said, In hap he purgeth the womb in the summer parlour.

²⁵And they abode so long, till they were ashamed; and they saw that no man opened the door, and they took the key, and they opened (it), and they found their lord lying dead on the earth. (And they waited so long for him, that they were embarrassed; and when they saw that no one opened the door, they took the key, and they opened it, and they found their lord lying dead on the floor.)

²⁶And while they were troubled, Ehud fled out, and passed the place of (the graven) idols, from whence he turned again, (or and passed the place of the carved stones, where he had turned back); and he came into Seirath.

²⁷And anon he sounded with a clarion in the hill of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came down with him, and he went in the front. (And at once he sounded with a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came down with him, and he went at the front.)
