20And Ehud came vnto him, and he was sitting in a Summer parlour, which hee had for himselfe alone: And Ehud said, I haue a message from God vnto thee. And he arose out of his seat. 21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 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.
