Judges 3:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 3:20

18 And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who had carried the tribute.

19 But he himself turned back ^afrom the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” He said, “Keep silence!” And all who attended him went out from him.

20 So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” So he arose from his seat.

21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.

22 Even the¹ hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.

23 Then Ehud went out through the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

24 When he had gone out,¹ Eglon’s servants came to look, and to their surprise, the doors of the upper room were locked. So they said, “He is probably ^aattending to his needs in the cool chamber.”

25 So they waited till they were ^aembarrassed, and still he had not opened the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them. And there was their master, fallen dead on the floor.
