Children Of Bean [1]
( Υἱοὶ Βαιάν ; Josephus, Υἱοὶ Τοῦ Βαάνου , Ant. 1 2, 8, 1), a tribe apparently of predatory Bedouin habits, retreating into "towers" ( Πύργους ) when not plundering, and who were destroyed by Judas Maccabaeus ( 1 Maccabees 5:4). The name has been supposed to be identical with BEON ( Numbers 32:2); but this is a mere conjecture, as it is very difficult to tell from the context whether the residence of this people was on the east or west of Jordan.
