Judges 6:32
Jerubbaal. that is, Let Baal plead.1Sa 12:11; 2Sa 11:21Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead.Jer 11:13; Ho 9:10 1 Samuel 12:11
Jerubbaal.Jud 6:14,32; 8:29,35Bedan.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. Jud 13:1-16:31Jephthah.Jud 11:1-33Samuel.7:13
