Jeezer

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]

 Numbers 26:30. According to some identical with Abiezer in the parallel list ( 1 Chronicles 7:18;  Joshua 17:2). (See Abiezer .) Keil distinguishes them, for the family sprung from Jeezer holds the first place among Manassite families, but Abiezer the son of Mathit's sister held no such eminence; from him came Gideon ( Judges 6:15) who says "my family is poor (margin my thousand is meanest) in Manasseh."
