Judges 3:23 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ehud went forth, with a composed countenance and gait, without any fear; being well assured that God, who by his extraordinary call had put him upon that enterprise, would by his special providence preserve him, and carry him through it. Upon him; either upon the king, or upon or after himself. Locked them; either by pulling it close after him, as we do when doors have spring-locks; or by taking the key with him for more caution; and this he did, that they supposing the king to be retired, might wait till he was gone.

Judges 3:23

23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
