Specialty Definition: BEDAN

DomainDefinition
Bible1: (son of judgement). 1. Mentioned in (1 Samuel 12:11) as a judge of Israel between Jerubbaal (Gideon) and Jephthah. The Chaldee Paraphrase reads Samson for Bedan; the LXX., Syriac and Arabic all have Barak. Ewald suggests that it may be a false reading for Abdon. (B.C. about 1150.) 2. The son of Gilead. (1 Chronicles 7:17). (references)
 2: Bedan one of the judges of Israel (1 Sam. 12:11). It is uncertain who he was. Some suppose that Barak is meant, others Samson, but most probably this is a contracted form of Abdon (Judg. 12:13). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.
