“And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.”
When Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who had carried the tribute. — Ehud's dismissal of his attendants indicates deliberate action to isolate himself with the king, suggesting that assassination required removal of witnesses and protection. The phrase 'when he had finished' indicates that tribute delivery served as the pretext for private audience.
