BEDAN . 1 . Mentioned with Jerubbaal, Jephthah, and Samuel as one of the deliverers of Israel ( 1 Samuel 12:11 ). The name does not occur in Jg., and it is probably a corruption for Barak (so LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and Pesh.). Chronologically Barak should precede Gideon, but the order cannot be pressed (cf. V. 9). 2 . A Manassite ( 1 Chronicles 7:17 ).
