It was part of the coalition of five Amorite kings who opposed Israel during Joshua's conquest of Canaan. The mention of "one" signifies the singular defeat of each king, emphasizing the completeness of Israel's victory. Eglon is also noted in the biblical narrative for its strategic location, which provided control over trade routes. The defeat of its king symbolizes the breaking of Canaanite power and the fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to Israel. This victory is a testament to God's faithfulness and the Israelites' obedience to His commands.<p><b>the king of Gezer, one;</b><br>Gezer was a significant Canaanite city-state located in the foothills of the Judean mountains. It held strategic importance due to its position on the Via Maris, an ancient trade route connecting Egypt and Mesopotamia. Archaeological excavations have uncovered evidence of its fortifications, indicating its strength and influence. The defeat of the king of Gezer highlights the dismantling of Canaanite resistance and the establishment of Israelite control over key regions. Gezer is later mentioned in the context of Solomon's reign, when it was given as a dowry by Pharaoh to Solomon's wife, indicating its continued importance. The victory over Gezer's king underscores the theme of divine intervention and the fulfillment of God's covenant promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_of_eglon.htm">King of Eglon</a></b><br>Eglon was a Canaanite city-state whose king was defeated by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership.
