"As Ehud went out into the vestibule, he closed the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them."
— Judges 3:23, NET Bible
“Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.”
“Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them. ”
“Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.”
“And Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour, and locking them,”
“Then Ehud went out into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.”
“Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.”
When Ehud approached him, he was sitting in his well-ventilated upper room all by himself. Ehud said,“I have a message from God for you.” When Eglon rose up from his seat,
Ehud reached with his left hand, pulled the sword from his right thigh, and drove it into Eglon’s belly.
The handle went in after the blade, and the fat closed around the blade, for Ehud did not pull the sword out of his belly.
As Ehud went out into the vestibule, he closed the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
When Ehud had left, Eglon’s servants came and saw the locked doors of the upper room. They said,“He must be relieving himself in the well-ventilated inner room.”
They waited so long they were embarrassed, but he still did not open the doors of the upper room. Finally they took the key and opened the doors. Right before their eyes was their master, sprawled out dead on the floor!
Now Ehud had escaped while they were delaying. When he passed the carved images, he escaped to Seirah.
