IBZAN.—One of the minor judges, following Jephthah (Jdg_12:8-10). He came from Bethlehem, probably the Bethlehem in Zebulun (Jos_19:15), 7 miles N.W. of Nazareth. He had 30 sons and 30 daughters—an evidence of his social importance—and arranged their marriages. He judged Israel 7 years, and was buried at Bethlehem. According to Jewish tradition, Ibzan was the same as Boaz.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Of Bethlehem (probably in Zebulun, as "Ephratah" or" Judah" is not added, Jos_19:15). Judged Israel for seven years after Jephthah (Jdg_12:8; Jdg_12:10). He took in 30 daughters in law from abroad for his 30 sons, and sent abroad (i.e gave away in marriage) his 30 daughters, which is an additional reason for Phoenicians not Philistines having been his neighbours.

By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Ib'zan. (illustrious). A native of Bethlehem of Zebulun, who judged Israel for seven years after Jephthah. Jdg_12:8; Jdg_12:10. (B.C. 1137).
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


ib?zan (אבצן, 'ibhcān): The 10th judge of Israel. His city is given as Bethlehem (whether of Judah or Zebulun is not stated). He judged Israel 7 years, and when he died he was buried in his native place. The only personal details given about him in the Biblical narrative are that he had 30 sons and a like number of daughters. He sent all of his sons ?abroad? for wives and brought husbands from ?abroad? for all his daughters. The exact meaning of ha-ḥūc, ?abroad,? is mere matter of speculation, but the great social importance of the man and, possibly, alliances among tribes, are suggested in the brief narrative (Jdg_12:8-10). Jewish tradition identifies Ibzan with Boaz of Bethlehem-Judah (Talmud, Bābhā', Bathrā', 91a).

Ib?zan (illustrious), the tenth 'judge of Israel.' He was of Bethlehem, probably the Bethlehem of Zebulun and not of Judah. He governed seven years. The prosperity of Ibzan is marked by the great number of his children (thirty sons and thirty daughters), and his wealth by their marriages?for they were all married.

Ibzan
(Heb. Ibtsan', אַבְצָן, from אָבִוֹ, to shine, hence illustrious; but accord. to Gesen. perh. of tin, or grievous, from the Chald.; Sept. Ε᾿βεσάν v.r. Α᾿βαισσάν; Joseph. Α᾿ψάνης, Ant. 5, 7, 13), the tenth “judge of Israel” (Jdg_12:8-10). He was of Bethlehem probably the Bethlehem of Zebulun (so Michaelis and Hezel), and not of Judah (as Josephus says). He governed seven years, B.C. 1249-1243. The prosperity of Ibzan is marked by the great number of his children (thirty sons and thirty daughters), and his wealth by their marriages-for they were all married. Some have held, with little probability, that Ibzan was the same with Boaz.-Kitto.
