21 And Ehud will stretch forth his left hand, and will take the sword from off his right thigh, and he will drive it into his belly: 22 And the handle will also go in after the flame, and the fat will shut upon the flame, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and the dirt came out. 23 And Ehud will come forth to the portico, and he will shut the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and fasten. 24 And he went forth, and his servants came in, and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber were fastened; and they will say, Surely he is covering his feet in the chamber of cooling. 25 And they will delay till being ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; and they will take a key and will open: and behold, their lord fallen upon the earth, dead. 26 And Ehud was saved during their consternation; and he passed by the carved images and will be saved at the gates. 27 And it will be in his coming out, and he will clang upon the trumpet in mount Ephraim, and the sons of Israel will go down with him from the mountain, and he before them. 28 And he will say to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah gave your enemies, Moab, into your hand. And they will go down after him and will take the passages of Jordan toward Moab, and they gave not a man to pass over. 29 And they will smite Moab in that time, about ten thousand men, every one fat and every man strong: and not a man was saved. 30 And Moab will be subdued in that day under the hand of Israel: and the land will rest eighty years. 31 And after him was Shamgar, son of Anath; and he will smite the Philistines, six hundred men with an oxgoad; and he also will deliver Israel.
