Ford Maddox Brown. Eglon assassinated by Ehud. 1908.
This is a great illustration of Ehud killing King Eglon from Judges 3. A great artist, a great illustration, and a great story.
But the declaration of the Apostle is of the greatest weight; that this Melchizedek, whoever he was, is presented before us, without any origin, as if he had dropped from the clouds, and that his name is buried without any mention of his death. (Hebrews 7:3.) But the admirable grace of God shines more clearly in a person unknown; because, amid the corruptions of the world, he alone, in that land, was an upright and sincere cultivator and guardian of religion.John Calvin’s commentary on Genesis 14. Beautifully worded.
