Reference: Bedan
Easton
one of the judges of Israel (1Sa 12:11). It is uncertain who he was. Some suppose that Barak is meant, others Samson, but most probably this is a contracted form of Abdon (Jg 12:13).

Fausets
A judge of Israel between Jerubbaal and Jephthah, in 1Sa 12:11. Seemingly not, mentioned in Judges, but the name is probably identical with Abdon, which has the same radical consonants (Jg 12:13-15). No achievement of his for Israel's deliverance is recorded, but may it not be inferred from the record "he was buried ... in the mount of the Amalekites," that he probably smote them, and took the land which they had robbed Israel of? Compare Jg 3:13,27; 5:14. A Bedan is mentioned among Manasseh's descendants (1Ch 7:17), whence some identify him with the Jair (Jg 10:3), and suppose the surname Bedan was added to distinguish him from the elder Jair (Nu 32:41).
The Chaldee paraphrase reads "Samson" for "Bedan" in 1Sa 12:11. Whence some guess Bedan = Ben-Dan, or Be (Hebrew in) Dan, to be an epithet of Samson, namely, the Danite; compare Jg 13:25. But the order of the names forbids it. The Septuagint, Syrian, and Arabic versions read "Barak," which also the order forbids; however, see Heb 11:32. Other and spiritual considerations, besides chronology, often rule the order.

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