No archaeological evidence has been discovered to prove his existence, though some possible candidates for his palace exist. Biblical narrative He was the head of the confederacy of Moab, Ammon and Amalek in their assault on Israel. Eglon reigned over the Israelites for 18 years. One day, Ehud, who was left handed, came presenting a customary tribute and tricked Eglon and stabbed him with his sword, but when Ehud attempted to draw the sword back out, the obese king's excess fat prevented its retrieval.
