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.

20 Éhud l’aborda comme il était assis seul dans sa chambre d’été, et il dit: J’ai une parole de Dieu pour toi. Églon se leva de son siège.

21 Alors Éhud avança la main gauche, tira l’épée de son côté droit, et la lui enfonça dans le ventre.
