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.

15 Y clamaron los hijos de Israel al SE脩OR; y el SE脩OR les despert贸 un salvador, a Aod, hijo de Gera, benjamita, el cual ten铆a cerrada la mano derecha. Y los hijos de Israel enviaron con 茅l un presente a Egl贸n rey de Moab.
16 Y Aod se hab铆a hecho un cuchillo de dos filos, de un codo de largo; y se lo ci帽贸 debajo de sus vestidos a su lado derecho.

18 Y luego que hubo presentado el presente, despidi贸 al pueblo que lo hab铆a tra铆do.
19 Mas 茅l se volvi贸 desde los 铆dolos que est谩n en Gilgal, y dijo: Rey, una palabra secreta tengo que decirte. El entonces dijo: Calla. Y salieron de delante de 茅l todos los que estaban con 茅l.
