Eglon
Eglon was a king of Moab who oppressed Israel. He was a large and powerful man, and he had a large and powerful army. He ruled his kingdom with an iron fist, and he made the Israelites his slaves.
One day, a man named Ehud came to Eglon's palace. He was a spy for the Israelites, and he had a plan to kill Eglon. Ehud brought a gift for Eglon, a large sword that was hidden in his clothes.
Ehud met with Eglon in private. He told Eglon that he had a message from God. Eglon listened attentively, and he invited Ehud to sit down. Ehud then drew his sword and stabbed Eglon in the stomach. The sword was so sharp that it went all the way through Eglon's body.
Eglon died instantly. Ehud then escaped from the palace, and he led the Israelites in a revolt against the Moabites. The Israelites defeated the Moabites, and they regained their freedom.
