Judges 3:17 in context

  1. 15But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
  2. 16Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.
  3. 17He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
  4. 18When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
  5. 19But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.”
    The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him left him.
