New International Version (© 2011) Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it.King James Bible And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.American Standard Version and 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.Young's Literal Translation and the haft also goeth in after the blade, and the fat shutteth on the blade, that he hath not drawn the sword out of his belly, and it goeth out at the fundament.Judges 3:22 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleThe haft also went in after the blade - As the instrument was very short, and Eglon very corpulent, this might readily take place. And the dirt came out - This is variously understood: either the contents of the bowels issued through the wound, or he had an evacuation in the natural way through the fright and anguish. The original, פרשדונה parshedonah, occurs only here, and is supposed to be compounded of פרש peresh, dung, and שדה shadah, to shed, and may be very well applied to the latter circumstance; so the Vulgate understood it: Statinque per secreta naturae alvi stercora proruperunt. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge the dirt came out. or, it came out at the fundament. Judges 3:22 Parallel Commentaries
