Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Judges 3:12-30

Ehud is the next of the judges whose achievements are related in this history, and here is an account of his actions. I. When Israel sins again God raises up a new oppressor, Jdg. 3:12-14. It was an aggravation of their wickedness that they did evil again after they had smarted so long for their former iniquities, promised so fair when Othniel judged them, and received so much mercy from God in their deliverance. What, and after all this, again to break his commandments! Was the disease... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 3:21

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh ,.... Being, as before observed, a lefthanded man; Judges 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, Judges 3:16 , and thrust it into his belly ; Josephus F4 Antiqu. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2. says into his heart; it is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 3:22

And the haft went in, after the blade ,.... The handle of the dagger, as well as the blade; so strong and violent was the thrust, he determining to do his business effectually: and the fat closed upon the blade ; being an excessive fat man, the wound made by the dagger closed up at once upon it, through the fat: so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly ; being not able to take hold of the haft or handle, that having slipped in through the fat after the blade, so that he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 3:23

Then Ehud went forth through the porch ,.... Which the Targum interprets by "exedra", a place, as Kimchi, where there were many seats, either for the people to sit in while waiting to have admittance into the presence of the king, or where the guards sat, and may be called the guard room; through this Ehud passed with all serenity and composure of mind imaginable, without the least show of distress and uneasiness in his countenance, being fully satisfied that what he had done was right, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 3:24

When he was gone out, his servants came ,.... When Ehud was gone through the porch, and out of the palace, the servants of Eglon, who had been put out, came to the parlour door to reassume their former place, and finish their business with the king, or in order to wait upon him as usual: and when they saw that behold the doors of the parlour were locked ; which they supposed were done by the king himself with inside, having no suspicion of Ehud: they said, surely , or "perhaps", as... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 3:22

The haft also went in after the blade - As the instrument was very short, and Eglon very corpulent, this might readily take place. And the dirt came out - This is variously understood: either the contents of the bowels issued through the wound, or he had an evacuation in the natural way through the fright and anguish. The original, פרשדונה parshedonah , occurs only here, and is supposed to be compounded of פרש peresh , dung, and שדה shadah , to shed, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 3:24

He covereth his feet - He has lain down on his sofa in order to sleep; when this was done they dropped their slippers, lifted up their feet, and covered them with their long loose garments. But the versions, in general, seem to understand it as implying a certain natural act. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Judges 3:22

The King James Version and margin give different explanations of the last words of this verse. Others explain it of a vestibule or chamber, through which Ehud passed into the porch where the entrance doors were. He locked the doors, took the key with him; and then retired through the midst of the attendants below (or: more probably, through the door which communicated directly with the outside). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Judges 3:24

He covereth his feet - Compare the marginal references. The explanation of the phrase as “taking sleep” suits both passages best. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 3:21

Judges 3:21. Ehud put forth his hand and took the dagger It is justly observed by Dr. Dodd, that this action of Ehud “is certainly among the number of those which are not to be imitated without that which gave it all its sanction; namely, a divine commission. The text expressly says, The Lord raised up Ehud; and it is well known that all the deliverances which the Jews had under the judges, were directed and conducted by the immediate hand of God, according as the people, by their... read more
