26 And Ehud escaped whilst they tarried, and was passed over the quarry of stones (or place of graven images) and escaped into Seirath. 27 And when he was come to his, he blew a trumpet in mount Ephraim. And the children of Israel went down with him from the hill and he went before them. 28 And he said unto them: Follow me, for the Lord hath delivered ⟨image 90⟩your enemies the Moabites into your hands: and they descended after him and took the passages of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
26 And Ehud escaped whilest they taryed, and was passed ouer the quarrey of stones (or place of grauen images) and escaped into Seirath. 27 And when he was come to hys, he blewe a trompet in mount Ephraim. And the children of Israell went downe with him from the hill and he went before them. 28 And he sayd vnto them: Follow me, for the Lord hath deliuered ⟨image 90⟩your enemies the Moabites into your handes: and they descended after him and tooke the passages of Iordan towarde Moab, and suffred not a man to passe ouer.
This place Seirath, which is here mentioned, is not the mount Seir in Idumea, but is a place not far from mount Ephraim, as the words which follow do manifestly declare. And Ehud being of a noble courage when he had slain the tyrant, left not his matters half done and half undone, as did Brutus and Cassius long sins when they had slain Cesar, with a trumpet he called together the Ephraites, which were men very expert in wars, and those by his authority he exhorted to battle, making them assured ye God had granted him the victory. They therefore stopped the passages of Jordan, that the Moabites, which were in the kingdom of the Israelites, & had gotten part of it as it is already declared, should not fly away. And lest others of the country of Moab should pass over the river, to succour their own men, which were among the Hebrews.
