Judges 3:21
"And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh,.... Being, as before observed, a lefthanded man; Jdg 3:15 , and this he could the

better do, without being taken notice of by the king, who, if he saw him move his left hand, would have no suspicion of his going to draw a dagger with it, and which also was hidden under his raiment, Jdg 3:16 , and thrust it into his belly; Josephus (d) says into his heart; it is certain the wound was mortal, and must have been in a part on which, life depended. (d) Antiqu. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2.
