Bible verse
Now Ehud had made for himself a double-edged sword a cubit long. He strapped it to his right thigh under his cloak

The verses around it, from Judges 3.
12 Once again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. So He gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 After enlisting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join forces with him, Eglon attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the City of Palms.
14 The Israelites served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
15 And again they cried out to the LORD, and He raised up Ehud son of Gera, a left-handed Benjamite, as their deliverer. So they sent him with tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
16 Now Ehud had made for himself a double-edged sword a cubit long. He strapped it to his right thigh under his cloak
17 and brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was an obese man.
18 After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he ushered out those who had carried it.
19 But upon reaching the idols near Gilgal, he himself turned back and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” “Silence,” said the king, and all his attendants left him.
20 Then Ehud approached him while he was sitting alone in the coolness of his upper room. “I have a word from God for you,” Ehud said, and the king rose from his seat.
