1 Samuel 12:11

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

Jerubbaal: Judges 6:14, Judges 6:32, Judges 8:29, Judges 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: Judges 11:1-33

Samuel: 1 Samuel 7:13
