Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Judges 3:12-30

Ehud is the next of the judges whose achievements are related in this history, and here is an account of his actions. I. When Israel sins again God raises up a new oppressor, Jdg. 3:12-14. It was an aggravation of their wickedness that they did evil again after they had smarted so long for their former iniquities, promised so fair when Othniel judged them, and received so much mercy from God in their deliverance. What, and after all this, again to break his commandments! Was the disease... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 3:17

And he brought a present unto Eglon king of Moab ,.... Accompanied by two servants, as Josephus says F2 Antiqu. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2. , 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... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 3:17

Eglon was a very fat man - The בריא איש ish bari of the text is translated by the Septuagint ανηρ αστειος σφοδρα , a very beautiful or polite man, and in the Syriac, a very rude man. It probably means what we call lusty or corpulent. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Judges 3:7-31

Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (3:7-31)The first invader of Israel seems to have come from Aram, which was far to the north of Palestine. The Israelite leader who finally defeated him, Othniel, came from the tribe of Judah, which was in the south of Palestine (see Joshua 15:13-19). It appears, therefore, that the enemy had overrun most of the land. As in other cases recorded in Judges, Israel’s victory came through God’s special power given to the deliverer (7-11; cf. 6:34; 11:29; 13:25; 14:6,19;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Judges 3:17

Judges 3:17. Eglon was a very fat man— The LXX render it, a very polite man; with a view probably to account for the civility wherewith this prince admitted Ehud to an audience: but our translation is more agreeable to the Hebrew, as well as to the context. See Judges 3:22. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Judges 3:12-30

1. Oppression under the Moabites and deliverance through Ehud 3:12-30The Moabites and Ammonites were not only neighbors who both lived to the southeast of Canaan, but they were also descendants of the same ancestor, Lot. The Amalekites lived on Israel’s southern border and were descendants of Esau. The Moabites had allied with the Ammonites and the Amalekites and had captured the site of Jericho (the "city of palm trees," Judges 3:13). They had evidently rebuilt it since Joshua’s conquest.... read more
