Clarke's Judges 3:17 Bible Commentary
Eglon was a very fat man - The איש בריא ish bari of the text is translated by the Septuagint ανηρ αστειος σφοδρα, a very beautiful or polite man, and in the Syriac, a very rude man. It probably means what we call lusty or corpulent.
Wesley's Judges 3:17 Bible Commentary
3:17 The present - Which was to be paid to him as a part of his tribute.
