And Ehudh164 cameh935h8804 unto him; and he was sittingh3427h8802 in a summerh4747 parlourh5944, which he had for himself alone. And Ehudh164 saidh559h8799, I have a messageh1697 from Godh430 unto thee. And he aroseh6965h8799 out of his seath3678. a summer...: Heb. a parlour of cooling

And the hafth5325 also went inh935h8799 afterh310 the bladeh3851; and the fath2459 closedh5462h8799 uponh1157 the bladeh3851, so that he could not drawh8025h8804 the daggerh2719 out of his bellyh990; and the dirth6574 came outh3318h8799. the dirt...: or, it came out at the buttocks

And they tarriedh2342h8799 till they were ashamedh954h8800: and, behold, he openedh6605h8802 not the doorsh1817 of the parlourh5944; therefore they tookh3947h8799 a keyh4668, and openedh6605h8799 them : and, behold, their lordh113 was fallen downh5307h8802 deadh4191h8801 on the earthh776.

And they went downh3381h8799 afterh310 him, and tookh3920h8799 the fordsh4569 of Jordanh3383 toward Moabh4124, and sufferedh5414h8804 not a manh376 to pass overh5674h8800.
