Who is king eglon in the bible?
King of Moab (Judges ch.3).
Which king sacrificed his first son to God to win a battle against Israel?
This occurs in 2 Kings 3:25-27, where it seems that either the gods of Moab defeated the Israelites and Judahites, or the Hebrew people simply had such faith in the efficacy of human sacrifice that they believed their continued efforts would be in vain and so abandoned their attack.King Jehoram of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, with the assistance of the prophet Elisha, fought the Moabites and besieged the Moab city of Kir-haraseth. They had the upper hand until the Moabite king sacrificed his eldest son on the wall of the city, whereupon the Israelites and Judahites abandoned the siege.AnswerNo king in the Bible sacrificed his son to God since it was prohibited by law and abhorrent to God. Mesha, king of Moab, sacrificed to his pagan god Chemosh in 2 Kings 27, but that was not to the God of the Israelites.

What is the Moab Stone?
The Mesha Stele, also known as the 'Moabite Stone' is a black basalt stone, bearing an inscription by the 9th century BCE Moabite King Mesha. It was discovered in August 1868 at the ancient Dibon now Dhiban, Jordan, by Rev. F. A. Klein, a German missionary in Jerusalem. "The Arabs of the neighbourhood, dreading the loss of such a talisman, broke the stone into pieces; but a squeeze had already been obtained and most of the fragments were recovered and pieced together. A squeeze is a papier-maché impression. The squeeze and the reassembled stele are now in the Louvre Museum.More recently, after the find of the Tel Dan inscription, French scholar Andre Lemaire identified a reference to King David in this inscription. Lemaire was able to identify a previously indistinguishable letter as a "d" in the phrase 'House of David', although some scholars question whether the word really is 'David'. Another stone, the Tel Dan Stele also contains a passage that may refer to the 'House of David', thus reinforcing the translation of the Mesha Stele and providing the first circumstantial evidence that there really was a King David.
