His story is primarily found in Judges 3:12-30. Eglon established his seat of power in the "City of Palms," which is identified with Jericho. The narrative highlights his assassination by Ehud, a left-handed Israelite judge, who delivered Israel from Moabite oppression. Ehud's cunning plan involved presenting a tribute to Eglon and then killing him in his private chamber. The account emphasizes the deliverance of Israel from foreign domination through divine intervention and the bravery of Ehud.
