<p> ''''' eg´lon ''''' ( עגלון , <i> ''''' ‛eghlōn ''''' </i> ; Ὀδολλάμ , <i> ''''' Odollám ''''' </i> ): A royal [[Canaanite]] city whose king joined the league headed by [[Adonizedek]] of [[Jerusalem]] against the Gibeonites, which suffered overwhelming defeat at the hands of Joshua (Josh 10). Joshua passed from [[Libnah]] to Lachish, and from [[Lachish]] to [[Eglon]] on his way to [[Hebron]] (&nbsp;Joshua 10:31 ). It was in the [[Shephelah]] of Judah (&nbsp;Joshua 15:39 ). The name seems to be preserved in that of <i> ''''' Khirbet ‛Ajlān ''''' </i> , about 10 miles West of <i> ''''' Beit Jibrı̄n ''''' </i> . Professor Petrie, however, thinks that the site of <i> ''''' Tell Nejı̄leh ''''' </i> better suits the requirements. While <i> ''''' Khirbet ‛Ajlān ''''' </i> is a comparatively modern site, the city at <i> ''''' Tell Nejı̄leh ''''' </i> must have been contemporary with that at <i> ''''' Tell el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Ḥesy ''''' </i> (Lachish). It lies fully three miles Southeast of <i> ''''' Tell el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Ḥesy ''''' </i> . </p>
