Jueces 3:21 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 3:21

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from
his right thigh
Being, as before observed, a lefthanded man; ( Judges 3:15 ) , and this he could the better do, without being taken notice of by the king, who, if he saw him move his left hand, would have no suspicion of his going to draw a dagger with it, and which also was hidden under his raiment, ( Judges 3:16 ) ;

and thrust it into his belly;
Josephus F4 says into his heart; it is certain the wound was mortal, and must have been in a part on which, life depended.

19 Mas 茅l se volvi贸 desde los 铆dolos que est谩n en Gilgal, y dijo: Rey, una palabra secreta tengo que decirte. El entonces dijo: Calla. Y salieron de delante de 茅l todos los que estaban con 茅l.
20 Y se lleg贸 Aod a 茅l, el cual estaba sentado solo en una sala de verano. Y Aod dijo: Tengo palabra de Dios para ti. El entonces se levant贸 de la silla.
21 Mas Aod meti贸 su mano izquierda, y tom贸 el cuchillo de su lado derecho, y se lo meti贸 por el vientre;
22 de tal manera que la empu帽adura entr贸 tambi茅n tras la hoja, y la grosura encerr贸 la hoja, que 茅l no sac贸 el cuchillo de su vientre; y sali贸 el esti茅rcol.
23 Y saliendo Aod al patio, cerr贸 tras s铆 las puertas de la sala con la llave.
