17And he offered the tribute unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.

18And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bare the tribute.

19But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

20And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:

22and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.

23Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them.
