Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and drove it into his belly.
In context
19But he himself turned back from the carved images near Gilgal and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said, “Silence,” and all his attendants left him. 20Ehud came in to him as he sat alone in his cool roof chamber and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose from his seat, 21Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and drove it into his belly. 22Even the handle went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; it came out behind. 23Then Ehud went out to the porch, shut the doors of the roof chamber behind him, and locked them.
