Jueces 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.

Jueces 3:17 In-Context

15 Sin embargo, cuando el pueblo de Israel clamó al Señor
por ayuda, el Señor
nuevamente levantó a un libertador para salvarlos. Se llamaba Aod, hijo de Gera, quien era un hombre zurdo, de la tribu de Benjamín. Los israelitas enviaron a Aod a entregar el dinero del tributo al rey Eglón, de Moab.
16 Así que Aod hizo una daga de dos filos, de unos treinta centímetros
de largo, la ató a su muslo derecho y la escondió debajo de la ropa.
17 Luego le llevó el dinero del tributo a Eglón, quien era muy gordo.
18 Después de entregar el pago, Aod emprendió el regreso junto con los que le habían ayudado a llevar el tributo.
19 Pero cuando Aod llegó a donde estaban los ídolos de piedra, cerca de Gilgal, se regresó. Se presentó ante Eglón y le dijo: «Tengo un mensaje secreto para usted». Entonces el rey les ordenó a sus sirvientes que se callaran y que todos salieran de la habitación.
