| <p> [[Abdon]] (ăb'dŏn), servile. 1. A [[Levitical]] city in Asher. Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74. 2. The tenth judge of Israel, Judges 12:13; Judges 12:15, probably the same as Bedan, 1 Samuel 12:11, son of Hillel, of the tribe of Ephraim. He succeeded Elon, and judged [[Israel]] eight years. His rule was a peaceful one, as no oppression of Israel during his time is mentioned. The record that he bad 40 sons and 80 nephews (or rather grandsons) who rode on young asses, implies their high dignity and consequence: comp. Judges 5:9; Judges 10:3. Also two Benjamites. 1 Chronicles 8:23; 1 Chronicles 8:30; 1 Chronicles 9:36. 4. A son of Micah. 2 Chronicles 34:20. See Achbor. </p> | | <p> A city of [[Asher]] given to the [[Levites]] of Gershom's family: Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74. [[Hebron]] is substituted for it in Joshua 19:28. Many manuscripts there read "Abdon"; the [[Hebrew]] letters '''''Resh''''' ( '''''ר''''' ) and '''''Daleth''''' ( '''''ד''''' ) are very similar, and therefore often interchanged. </p> |

| <p> 1. The tenth judge of Israel: he succeeded Elon, and ruled eight years. Judges 12:13,15 . </p> <p> 2. Son of Shashak. 1 Chronicles 8:23 . </p> <p> 3. Son of Jehiel, of Gibeon. 1 Chronicles 8:30; 1 Chronicles 9:35,36 . </p> <p> 4. Son of Micha, 2 Chronicles 34:20 : the same as ACHBOR, <i> q.v. </i> </p> <p> 5. City in the tribe of Asher, one of the four given to the Gershonites. Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74 . Probably the same as [[Hebron]] in the list of the cities of [[Asher]] in Joshua 19:28 . According to Gesenius, Abdon is read here in twenty [[Hebrew]] MSS. instead of Hebron, though most of the ancient versions favour Hebron. This is not the well-known Hebron which is in Judah's lot. Abdon is identifiedwith <i> Abdeh </i> , 333' N, 35 9' E. </p> | | <p> ''''' ab´don ''''' ( עבדּון , <i> ''''' 'abhdōn ''''' </i> , perhaps "service"): One of the four [[Levitical]] cities in the tribe of Asher ( Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74 ). Probably the same with [[Ebron]] (in the King James Version "Hebron") in Joshua 19:28 , where some copies have the reading Abdon. Now called Abdeh, a few miles from the [[Mediterranean]] and about fifteen miles south of Tyre. </p> |

| <p> (Heb. Abdon', עְְבדּוֹן and עְְבדוֹן, servile; Sept. Ἀβδών ), the name of four men and one city. </p> <p> 1. The son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, of the tribe of Ephraim, and the twelfth Judge of Israel for eight years, B.C. 1233-1225. His administration appears to have been peaceful (ςΑβδων , Josephus, Ant. 5, 7, 15); for nothing is recorded of him but that he had forty sons and thirty nephews, who rode on young asses — a mark of their consequence (Judges 12:13-15). He is probably the BEDAN (See [[Bedan]]) referred to in 1 Samuel 12:11. </p> <p> 2. The first-born of Jehiel, of the tribe of Benjamin, apparently by his wife Maachab, and resident at [[Jerusalem]] (1 Chronicles 8:30; 1 Chronicles 9:36), B.C. ante 1093. </p> <p> 3. The son of Micah, and one of the persons sent by King Josiah to ascertain of the prophetess Huldah the meaning of the recently-discovered look of the Law (2 Chronicles 34:20), B.C. 628. In the parallel passage (2 Kings 22:12) he is called ACHBOR (See [[Achbor]]) , the son of Michaiah. </p> <p> 4. A "son" of Shashak, and chief [[Benjamite]] of Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 8:23), B.C. ante 598. </p> <p> 5. A Levitical town of the Gershonites, in the tribe of Asher, mentioned between [[Mishal]] or [[Mashal]] and [[Helkath]] or [[Hukkok]] (Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74). The same place, according to several MSS., is mentioned in Joshua 19:28, instead of HEBRON (See [[Hebron]]) (Reland, Palest. p. 518). Under this latter form Schwarz (Palest. p. 192) identifies it with a village, Ebra, which he affirms lies in the valley of the Leontes, south of Kulat Shakif; perhaps the place by the name of Abnon marked in this region on Robinson's map (new ed. of Researches). It is probably identical with the ruined site Abdeh, 8 or 9 miles N.E. of [[Accho]] (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 280). </p> <p> ADDENDUM FROM VOLUME 11: </p> <p> The modern Abdeh was examined by Tristram carefully, who found traces of a very extensive town, with sculptures of the Greek period, and a solitary column standing out in the plain at no great distance" (Bible Places, p. 292). </p>
