What Does Judges 3:25 Mean?
The servants wait until embarrassment overtakes them, and still the doors stay shut. At last they take a key and open them, only to find their lord fallen dead on the floor. The truth they had not imagined now lies plainly before them.
The drawn-out delay underscores how completely Ehud's escape has succeeded and how thoroughly Moab's power has collapsed. The king on whom an empire leaned is simply gone, and his servants are left stunned. So passes the strength of every kingdom set against the LORD. What seemed unshakable proves hollow, and the deliverance God intended for His people stands accomplished.
