Eglon

From Jewish Encyclopedia (1906)

Eglon:

A king of Moab, who overcame the Israelites and captured the "city of palm-trees," by which is probably meant Jericho (Judges iii. 13). He held the Israelites in subjection for eighteen years, and they were then delivered by Ehud , who assassinated Eglon ( ib. 15-26).
