Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) He brought the present.--Literally,"caused it to come near." Josephus, in his version of the story, evidently means to insinuate a parallel between the deed of Ehud and that of Harmodius and Aristogiton. He calls Ehud a young man who lived in familiarity with Eglon, and who had won his favour by frequent presents (Antt. v. 4).A very fat man.--Vulg., Crassus nimis. Such seems to be the undoubted meaning, and the notice is inserted with reference to Judges 3:22. The LXX. render it by the word asteios, a word which may mean either "graceful," or, as more probably in this place, "ridiculous."Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewand broughtוַיַּקְרֵב֙ (way·yaq·rêḇ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7126: To come near, approachthe tributeהַמִּנְחָ֔ה (ham·min·ḥāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4503: A donation, tribute, a sacrificial offeringto Eglonלְעֶגְל֖וֹן (lə·‘eḡ·lō·wn)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 5700: Eglon -- a king of Moab, also a city in Israelkingמֶ֣לֶךְ (me·leḵ)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4428: A kingof Moab,מוֹאָ֑ב (mō·w·’āḇ)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4124: Moab -- a son of Lot,also his descendants and the territory where they settledwhoוְעֶגְל֕וֹן (wə·‘eḡ·lō·wn)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 5700: Eglon -- a king of Moab, also a city in Israelwas an obeseמְאֹֽד׃ (mə·’ōḏ)AdverbStrong's 3966: Vehemence, vehemently, wholly, speedilyman.אִ֥ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personJump to PreviousEglon Moab Offered Offering Present Presented Tribute
