Judges 3:17
And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
And he brought a present unto Eglon king of Moab,.... Accompanied by two servants, as Josephus says {b}, 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.
