Eglon, King of Moab: Moabite king, allied with Amon and Amalek, oppressed the Israelites for eighteen years. Assassinated by the Israelite Judge Ehud.
After Joshua's death, Othniel shook off the yoke of the oppressor. Ehud slew ten thousand men of the enemy, and Shamgar rescued Israel from the Philistines.
The great-grandmother of King David had quite the unconventional family tree.
