Judges 3:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into Eglon’s^[a] 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.^{[b] 23} Then Ehud went out into the vestibule,^[c] and closed the doors of the roof chamber on him, and locked them.
