Judges 3:24 Context
22And the haft also went in after the blade: and the fatte closed vpon the blade, so that hee could not drawe the dagger out of his belly, and the dirt came out. 23Then Ehud went forth through the porche, and shut the doores of the parlour vpon him, and locked them. 24When he was gone out, his seruants came, and when they saw, that behold, the doores of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he couereth his feet in his Summer chamber. 25And they taried till they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doores of the parlour, therefore they tooke a key, and opened them: and behold, their lord was fallen downe dead on the earth. 26And Ehud escaped while they taried: and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped vnto Seirath.
