23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon 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 covereth his feet in his summer-chamber.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor, therefore they took a key and opened [them]: and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to 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 before them.
