Giudici 3:17 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 3:17

And he brought a present unto Eglon king of Moab
Accompanied by two servants, as Josephus says F2, and who doubtless bore the presents; for that there were such with him that did is clear from ( Judges 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.

Giudici 3:17 In-Context

15 Poi i figliuoli d’Israele gridarono al Signore, ed egli suscitò loro un liberatore, cioè: Ehud, figliuolo di Ghera, Beniaminita, il quale era mancino. Or i figliuoli d’Israele mandarono per lui un presente ad Eglon, re di Moab.
16 Ed Ehud si fece un pugnale a due tagli, lungo un cubito; e se lo cinse sotto i vestimenti, in su la coscia destra.
17 E presentò il presente ad Eglon, re di Moab, il quale era uomo molto grasso.
18 Ed avendo compiuto di presentare il presente, accommiatò la gente che avea portato il presente.
19 Ma egli se ne ritornò al re, dalle statue di pietra, che son presso di Ghilgal; e gli disse: Io ho alcuna cosa segreta a dirti. Ed egli gli disse: Taci. Allora tutti quelli che gli stavano d’intorno uscirono fuori d’appresso a lui.
