What Does Judges 3:26 Mean?
The verse confirms what the delay made possible: Ehud escapes. While the servants hesitate outside the locked doors, he passes beyond the carved stones and reaches Seirath, safely away and free to rally Israel.
The repeated note of his escaping marks the LORD's protection over His servant in the most dangerous hour. Ehud is not merely lucky; he is preserved for the next stage of the deliverance. God guards those He sends until their work is done. The same providence that opened the king's door now covers His servant's flight, and the rescue of Israel is about to gather to its head.
