Rashi, on Judg 3:24

“Went out by a postern door. And the king’s servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.”

“As he left. Ehud left, and Eglon's servants came. Relieving himself [lit. 'covering his legs']. Performing his necessary bodily functions. This refers to a bowel movement.”
