Judges 3:18-31

3:18

And when he had made an end
<03615> (8765)

to offer
<07126> (8687)

the present
<04503>_,

he sent away
<07971> (8762)

the people
<05971>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the present
<04503>_.

3:19

But he himself turned again
<07725> (8804)

from the quarries
<06456>

that [were] by Gilgal
<01537>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have a secret
<05643>

errand
<01697>

unto thee, O king
<04428>_:

who said
<0559> (8799)_,

Keep silence
<02013> (8761)_.

And all that stood
<05975> (8802)

by him went out
<03318> (8799)

from him. {quarries: or, graven images}

3:20

And Ehud
<0164>

came
<0935> (8804)

unto him; and he was sitting
<03427> (8802)

in a summer
<04747>

parlour
<05944>_,

which he had for himself alone. And Ehud
<0164>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have a message
<01697>

from God
<0430>

unto thee. And he arose
<06965> (8799)

out of [his] seat
<03678>_.

{a summer...: Heb. a parlour of cooling}

3:21

And Ehud
<0164>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

his left
<08040>

hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the dagger
<02719>

from his right
<03225>

thigh
<03409>_,

and thrust
<08628> (8799)

it into his belly
<0990>_:

3:22

And the haft
<05325>

also went in
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

the blade
<03851>_;

and the fat
<02459>

closed
<05462> (8799)

upon
<01157>

the blade
<03851>_,

so that he could not draw
<08025> (8804)

the dagger
<02719>

out of his belly
<0990>_;

and the dirt
<06574>

came out
<03318> (8799)_.

{the dirt...: or, it came out at the buttocks}

3:23

Then Ehud
<0164>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

through the porch
<04528>_,

and shut
<05462> (8799)

the doors
<01817>

of the parlour
<05944>

upon him, and locked
<05274> (8804)

them.

3:24

When he was gone out
<03318> (8804)_,

his servants
<05650>

came
<0935> (8804)_;

and when they saw
<07200> (8799)

that, behold, the doors
<01817>

of the parlour
<05944>

[were] locked
<05274> (8803)_,

they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely he covereth
<05526> (8688)

his feet
<07272>

in his summer
<04747>

chamber
<02315>_.

{covereth...: or, doeth his easement}

3:25

And they tarried
<02342> (8799)

till they were ashamed
<0954> (8800)_:

and, behold, he opened
<06605> (8802)

not the doors
<01817>

of the parlour
<05944>_;

therefore they took
<03947> (8799)

a key
<04668>_,

and opened
<06605> (8799)

[them]: and, behold, their lord
<0113>

[was] fallen down
<05307> (8802)

dead
<04191> (8801)

on the earth
<0776>_.

3:26

And Ehud
<0164>

escaped
<04422> (8738)

while they tarried
<04102> (8699)_,

and passed beyond
<05674> (8804)

the quarries
<06456>_,

and escaped
<04422> (8735)

unto Seirath
<08167>_.

3:27

And it came to pass, when he was come
<0935> (8800)_,

that he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>

in the mountain
<02022>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

went down
<03381> (8799)

with him from the mount
<02022>_,

and he before
<06440>

them.

3:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Follow
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

me: for the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

your enemies
<0341> (8802)

the Moabites
<04124>

into your hand
<03027>_.

And they went down
<03381> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and took
<03920> (8799)

the fords
<04569>

of Jordan
<03383>

toward Moab
<04124>_,

and suffered
<05414> (8804)

not a man
<0376>

to pass over
<05674> (8800)_.

3:29

And they slew
<05221> (8686)

of Moab
<04124>

at that time
<06256>

about ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_,

all lusty
<08082>_,

and all men
<0376>

of valour
<02428>_;

and there escaped
<04422> (8738)

not a man
<0376>_.

{lusty: Heb. fat}

3:30

So Moab
<04124>

was subdued
<03665> (8735)

that day
<03117>

under the hand
<03027>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And the land
<0776>

had rest
<08252> (8799)

fourscore
<08084>

years
<08141>_.

3:31

And after
<0310>

him was Shamgar
<08044>

the son
<01121>

of Anath
<06067>_,

which slew
<05221> (8686)

of the Philistines
<06430>

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

with an ox
<01241>

goad
<04451>_:

and he also delivered
<03467> (8686)

Israel
<03478>_.
