Judges 3:17 in Context — Judges 3

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.

19 Il revint lui-même depuis les carrières près de Guilgal, et il dit: O roi! J’ai quelque chose de secret à te dire. Le roi dit: Silence! Et tous ceux qui étaient auprès de lui sortirent.
