Usage: The name Ibtsan appears in the context of the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible. It is used as a proper noun to identify one of the judges of Israel. Context: Ibtsan is mentioned in the Book of Judges as one of the minor judges of Israel. His story is briefly recounted in Judges 12:8-10. According to the biblical narrative, Ibtsan hailed from Bethlehem and served as a judge over Israel for seven years. During his tenure, he is noted for having thirty sons and thirty daughters. He arranged marriages for his children, sending his daughters abroad and bringing in thirty daughters-in-law from outside for his sons. This practice of intermarriage may suggest a strategy to strengthen alliances and maintain peace during his judgeship. Ibtsan's leadership is characterized by prosperity and familial expansion, reflecting a period of stability in Israel's history. After his death, he was buried in Bethlehem, marking the end of his judgeship.
