1 Samuel 12:11
Jerubbaal Judg 6:14, Judg 6:32, Judg 8:29, Judg 8:35 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. Judg. 13:1-16:31 Jephthah Judg 11:1-33 Samuel 1Sam 7:13
