is named as the deliverer of Israelites in 1 Samuel 12:11. He
is not mentioned elsewhere as a judge of Israel. Bp. Patrick
and others hypothesis the name 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, refer
to the name as Barak, instead of Beda...

be'-dan (bedhan, "son of judgment" (?)):
(1) One of the leaders in Israel who with Jerubbaal, Jephthah

about 1150.)

Samson, but
most probably this is a contracted form of Abdon
(Judg. 12:13)....

A judge of Israel between Jerubbaal and Jephthah, in 1 Samuel
12:11. Seemingly not, mentioned in Judges, but the name is
probably identical with Abdon, which has the same radical
consonants (Judges 12:13-15). No achievement of his for
Israel's deliverance is recorded, but may it not be inferred
from the record "he was buried ... in the mount o...
