Bedan:
according to judgment
Bedan:
be'-dan (bedhan, "son of judgment" (?)):
(1) One of the leaders in Israel who with Jerubbaal, Jephthah and Samuel is mentioned as a deliverer of the nation (1Sa 12:11). The text is questioned because the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic read "Barak" instead.
(2) A son of Ulam of the house of Manasseh (1Ch 7:17).
Bedan:
(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).
