    Description

    Eglon in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Eglon was the Amorite king of Lachish who joined an alliance against Israel during the conquest under Joshua. He allied with Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem, Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, and Debir king of Eglon to attack Gibeon for making a treaty with Israel (Joshua 10:3-5).

    However, the Israelites came to Gibeon's aid and pursued the Amorite kings, defeating them with God's help. Eglon and the other kings fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah, but were captured and executed by Joshua (Joshua 10:16-27). Eglon's city of Lachish was also captured and destroyed.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
