Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Did evil again.--Literally, "added to do evil." We find this Hebraism even in the New Testament. "He added (prosetheto) to send" (Luke 20:11-12).Evil.--Literally, the evil, with special reference to idolatry, as in Judges 2:11, &c.Strengthened Eglon the king of Moab.--See this event referred to by the prophet Samuel, in 1Samuel 12:9. Eglon was a successor of Balak. We have seen that Rishathaim is probably a term of hatred or scorn; is the name Eglon due to the same tendency? It may be so, since Eglon means "a fat bullock" (comp. Psalm 22:12; Amos 4:1). . . .
