Be'dan. (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.
