Eglon was the king of Moab. He was a very fat man. He attacked Israel and God's people cried to the Lord. God sent a man named Ehud to His people to help them and the people sent Ehud with a present for Eglon. He told Eglon that he also had a secret message from God for him. Eglon stood up from his seat and Ehud took a dagger and stabbed Eglon in his fat belly. Eglon's fat closed around the dagger and the handle, and Ehud couldn't even pull the dagger back out! Dirt spilled out of Eglon's fat belly. Ehud quietly escaped and then led Israel in killing 10,000 men from Moab.
