Usage: The name Bedan appears in the context of the Old Testament as a judge or leader of Israel. It is mentioned in 1 Samuel 12:11. Context: Bedan is listed among the deliverers of Israel in 1 Samuel 12:11, where Samuel recounts the history of Israel's judges and leaders. The text states: "Then the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel, and He delivered you from the hands of your enemies on every side, and you lived in safety." In this passage, Bedan is traditionally identified with one of the judges or leaders who played a role in delivering Israel from oppression. However, there is some debate among scholars regarding the identity of Bedan, as he is not explicitly mentioned elsewhere in the biblical narrative. Some suggest that Bedan may be an alternate name or a textual variant for another judge, such as Barak or Abdon. The mention of Bedan in this context highlights the cyclical pattern of Israel's history, where God raises leaders to deliver His people from their adversaries.
