Meaning:Eglon

Word Origin:Derived from the Hebrew root עֵגֶל (egel), meaning "calf" or "young bull."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Eglon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text.

Usage:Eglon is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a Moabite king who oppressed Israel during the time of the Judges. The name is associated with the idea of strength or fertility, as suggested by its root meaning "calf."

Cultural and Historical Background:Eglon was the king of Moab who, with the help of the Ammonites and Amalekites, defeated Israel and ruled over them for eighteen years. This period of oppression was a result of Israel's disobedience to God. Eglon's account is set in the time of the Judges, a tumultuous period in Israel's history characterized by cycles of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. The Moabites were descendants of Lot and often in conflict with Israel.
