Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into Eglon's belly;
22
the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
23
Then Ehud went out into the vestibule, and closed the doors of the roof chamber on him, and locked them.
24
After he had gone, the servants came. When they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, "He must be relieving himself in the cool chamber."
25
So they waited until they were embarrassed. When he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them. There was their lord lying dead on the floor.

Ehud escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the sculptured stones, and escaped to Seirah.

When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites went down with him from the hill country, having him at their head.

He said to them, "Follow after me; for the Lord has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and allowed no one to cross over.
29
At that time they killed about ten thousand of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; no one escaped.
30
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.

After him came Shamgar son of Anath, who killed six hundred of the Philistines with an oxgoad. He too delivered Israel.
