1 Samuel 12:11

12:11

Jerub-Baal <03378> [Jerubbaal.]

Barak <0917> [Bedan.]

Bedan, whose name occurs no where else as a judge of Israel, Bp. Patrick and others suppose to be a contraction of {ben Dan,} "the son of Dan;" by which they suppose Samson is meant, as the Targum reads. The LXX., Syriac, and Arabic, however, instead of Bedan read Barak; and the two latter versions, instead of Samuel have Samson. These readings are adopted by Houbigant, and appear to be genuine; for it is not probable that Samuel would enumerate himself.

Jephthah <03316> [Jephthah.]

Samuel <08050> [Samuel.]
