Judges 3:16 in Context — Judges 3

14 Et les enfants d’Israël furent asservis dix-huit ans à Églon, roi de Moab.

15 Les enfants d’Israël crièrent à l’Éternel, et l’Éternel leur suscita un libérateur, Éhud, fils de Guéra, Benjamite, qui ne se servait pas de la main droite. Les enfants d’Israël envoyèrent par lui un présent à Églon, roi de Moab.

16 Éhud se fit une épée à deux tranchants, longue d’une coudée, et il la ceignit sous ses vêtements, au côté droit.

17 Il offrit le présent à Églon, roi de Moab: or Églon était un homme très gras.

18 Lorsqu’il eut achevé d’offrir le présent, il renvoya les gens qui l’avaient apporté.
