Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עֵגֶל (egel), meaning "calf" or "young bull." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Eglon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, may use transliterations or equivalent terms for proper nouns like Eglon. Usage: Eglon is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to: • A Moabite king who oppressed Israel during the time of the Judges. • A city in the territory of Judah. Context: • Eglon, the Moabite King: Eglon was a king of Moab who, with the help of the Ammonites and Amalekites, defeated Israel and ruled over them for eighteen years. His story is primarily found in Judges 3:12-30. Eglon established his seat of power in the "City of Palms," which is identified with Jericho. The narrative highlights his assassination by Ehud, a left-handed Israelite judge, who delivered Israel from Moabite oppression. Ehud's cunning plan involved presenting a tribute to Eglon and then killing him in his private chamber. The account emphasizes the deliverance of Israel from foreign domination through divine intervention and the bravery of Ehud. • Eglon, the City: Eglon was also a Canaanite city located in the lowlands of Judah. It is mentioned in the context of Joshua's conquest of Canaan. In Joshua 10:3-5, Eglon is listed among the cities whose kings formed a coalition against Joshua and the Israelites. The city was eventually captured and its king defeated as part of Joshua's southern campaign (Joshua 10:34-36). Eglon is noted for its strategic location and its role in the broader narrative of Israel's conquest of the Promised Land.
