Judges 3:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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

¹⁹ He himself went [with them] as far as the sculptured [boundary] stones near Gilgal, and then turned back and came to Eglon and said, I have a secret errand to you, O king. Eglon commanded silence, and all who stood by him went out from him.

²⁰ When Ehud had come [near] to him as he was sitting alone in his cool upper apartment, Ehud said, I have a commission from God to execute to you. And the king arose from his seat.
