23 And Ehud got him out thorough the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour about him, and locked them. 24 When he was gone out, his servants came, and looked and behold the doors of the parlour were locked. Then they said: Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber. 25 And they tarried till they were ashamed, and behold he opened not the doors of the parlour. Wherefore they toke a key and opened them. And behold their Lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
23 And Ehud got him out thorough the porche, and shut the dores of the parler about him, and locked them. 24 When he was gone out, his seruauntes came, and looked and beholde the dores of the parler were locked. Then they sayd: Surely he couereth his feete in his sommer chamber. 25 And they taryed till they were ashamed, and beholde he opened not the doores of the parler. Wherefore they toke a kay and opened thē. And behold their Lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Ehud when he went forth plucked the doors after him and locked them: for there is a certain kind of locks made in such sort, that without a key, of a man pluck the doors after him, they will straightway lock.1 And Augustine writing of this place, saith that they are in Africa every where called Verudata. The servants of Egl n when Ehud was come forth, suspected no evil, because as it is most likely, he never changed his countenance when he went forth but went his way fair and softly as though he had committed no wicked act. And they thought that the king had shut The doors, because peradventure he would ease him self. And that is meant by the Hebrew phrase wherein they say. He peradventure covereth his feet. For in that work men used to cover their feet with garments like a tabernacle or tent. And whilst the servants of Eglon tarried and waited, Ehud had good leisure to fly. But at the length when they were ashamed, they took a key and opened the doors. They use in courts to have many keys of the kings chamber, which the chamberlains diligently keep: and that is it which is here said that they took a key. But when they saw their king so vilely and miserably slain, we must believe that they were amazed, so that they could not well tell what was to be done. The thing was so strange which had happened. Peradventure also they a while mourned and lamented or else provided to save them selves by flight, because they had not well kept the king.
