Judges 3:17
"And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And he brought a present unto Eglon king of Moab,.... Accompanied by two servants, as Josephus says (b), and who doubtless bore the presents; for that there were such with

him that did is clear from Jdg 3:18 ; nor can it be thought that so great a personage as a judge in Israel should go alone and carry a present in his own hands; though it is possible, when come to the king of Moab, he might take it from his servants, and deliver it to him with his own hands: and Eglon was a very fat man: and so the less active, and unable to decline and avoid the stroke, he might see, when about to be given him. (b) Antiqu. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2.
