Contextual Overview
8 En ná hom het Ebsan, uit Betlehem, Israel gerig. 9 En hy het dertig seuns gehad, en dertig dogters het hy uitgehuwelik en van buite af dertig dogters vir sy seuns ingebring; en hy het Israel sewe jaar lank gerig. 10 En Ebsan het gesterwe en is begrawe in Betlehem. 11 En ná hom het Elon, die Sebuloniet, Israel gerig; en hy het Israel tien jaar lank gerig. 12These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; 13wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. 14But Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, also prophesied about these men, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, 15to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

And he had forty sons, and thirty nephews,.... Or sons' sons, that is, grandsons; so that he lived not only to see his sons married, but his grandchildren grown up to men's estate; since it follows,
that rode on seventy ass colts; who were either employed by him to ride about on these animals, which in those times were honourable; see Judges 5:10 to administer justice throughout the nation in their circuits; or rather, not following any trade, or being concerned in husbandry, or feeding cattle, but being men of estates, rode about like gentlemen:
and he judged Israel eight years; in his time it is said b the city of Troy was destroyed; so Eusebius c, who calls this judge Labdon, though he elsewhere d places it in the times of Eli;
