1. Ex 31:2-5; 1Ch 2:5,19-20,50-51; 4/1/type/juliasmith'>4:1,4. Josephus makes him husband of Miriam (?), Ant. 3:8, section 4.

"The father (founder) of Bethlehem," which as late as the 13th century A.D. was famed for tapestry weaving, the art for which Bezaleel his grandson was famed. Jesse was said to have woven veils of the sanctuary.
2. Fourth of the five Midianite kings slain with Balaam after the affair of Peor (Nu 31:8). These "princes" were "dukes (i.e. vassals) of Sihon king of the Amorites" (Jos 13:21). Sihon "had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land" (Nu 21:26). So, Balak was not hereditary king, but probably a Midianite; as Zippor, i.e. a bird, is like the Midianite names Oreb "crow," Zeeb "wolf"; imposed upon Moab as king by Sihon.
3. 1Ki 4:8, margin, Benhur.
4. Ne 3:9.
