24 After he had gone out, his courtiers came and looked, but behold, the doors of the roof chamber were locked. So they said, “He is only relieving himself in the cool chamber.”
25 So they waited till they were embarrassed, but behold, he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber. So they took the key and opened them—and behold, their master was lying dead on the floor.
26 But Ehud escaped while they were lingering, passed beyond the idols and escaped to Seirah.
27 When he arrived, he blew the shofar in the hill country of Ephraim, so Bnei-Yisrael went down with him from the hill country, and he was in front of them.
28 He said to them, “Follow me, for Adonai has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan opposite Moab, and allowed no one to cross over.
29 Then they struck down at that time about 10,000 men of Moab—all stout men of valor—not a man escaped.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had peace for 80 years.
