| | INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES CHAPTER 12 |
 | | This chapter relates a quarrel between Jephthah and the Ephraimites, which was fatal to the latter, (Judges 12:1-6), the time of Jephthah judging Israel, his death and burial, (Judges 12:7) and it briefly makes mention of three more judges of Israel, Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon, (Judges 11:8-15). |
 | | Between the former judge and him there was a great difference, in respect of this circumstance of children; he had but one daughter, an only child; and she, by reason of his vow, not suffered to marry. |
 | | And after him Abdon the son of Hillell, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.] So called from Pirathon, where he was born, and which was in the tribe of Ephraim, as appears from (Judges 12:15). |
