a king of the Moabites, who oppressed the Israelites for 18 years (Judges iii. 12—14.) Calmet confounds this servitude of the Hebrews with that under Chushan-rishathaim, making it to subsist only eight years, from the year of the world 2591 to 2599; whereas this servitude under Eglon lasted 18 years, and commenced in the year of the world 2661, and 62 years after they had been delivered by Othneil from the subjection of Chushan-rishathaim.
