Judges 3:23-31 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

23. Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the chamber behind him, and locked them.

24. When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor were locked, they said, Surely he is relieving himself in his summer chamber.

25. And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the chamber; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the floor.

26. And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the stone images, and escaped unto Seirath.

27. And it came to pass, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he was before them.

28. And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and allowed not a man to pass over.

29. And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all strong, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.

30. So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

31. And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
