Meaning and Etymology:</b> <br>The name "Abdon" is derived from the Hebrew root "עבד" (avad), meaning "servant" or "service." It is a name that appears several times in the Old Testament, associated with different individuals and locations.<br><br><b>2. Abdon, the Judge of Israel:</b> <br>Abdon is one of the lesser-known judges of Israel mentioned in the Book of Judges. He is listed as the twelfth judge, following Elon and preceding Samson. His account is briefly recounted in <a href="/judges/12-13.htm">Judges 12:13-15</a>:<br><br>"After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel. He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years. Then Abdon son of Hillel died and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites." (<a href="/judges/12-13.htm">Judges 12:13-15</a>)<br><br>Abdon's tenure as a judge is noted for the prosperity and large family he had, as indicated by the number of sons and grandsons who rode on donkeys, a symbol of wealth and status in ancient Israel.<br><br><b>3. Abdon, the Son of Micah:</b> <br>Another Abdon is mentioned in <a href="/2_chronicles/34-20.htm">2 Chronicles 34:20</a>. He is identified as the son of Micah and served during the reign of King Josiah. He was one of the officials sent by the king to consult the prophetess Huldah regarding the Book of the Law found in the temple:<br><br>"Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king: 'Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for those who remain in Israel and Judah concerning the words of the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD by doing all that is written in this book.'" (<a href="/2_chronicles/34-20.htm">2 Chronicles 34:20-21</a>)<br><br><b>4. Abdon, the Levitical City:</b> <br>Abdon is also the name of a Levitical city in the territory of Asher. It is mentioned in <a href="/joshua/21-30.htm">Joshua 21:30</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/6-74.htm">1 Chronicles 6:74</a> as one of the cities given to the Gershonite Levites:<br><br>"From the tribe of Asher they gave Mishal, Abdon, Helkath, and Rehob, together with their pasturelands—four cities." (<a href="/joshua/21-30.htm">Joshua 21:30</a>)<br><br><b>5. Abdon, the Son of Jeiel:</b> <br>In <a href="/1_chronicles/8-23.htm">1 Chronicles 8:23</a>, Abdon is listed as one of the sons of Jeiel, a Benjamite. This reference is part of a genealogical record of the tribe of Benjamin.<br><br><b>6. Cultural and Historical Context:</b> <br>The various individuals named Abdon reflect the commonality of the name in ancient Israel, likely due to its meaning related to servitude and dedication. The judge Abdon's account, though brief, highlights a period of relative peace and prosperity in Israel's history, while the other references to Abdon illustrate the name's use across different tribes and roles within Israelite society. The Levitical city of Abdon underscores the distribution of cities to the Levites, who were set apart for religious duties.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abdon</span><p>servant; cloud of judgment<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abdon</span><p>(<i>servile</i>). <ol> <li>A judge of Israel, (<a href="/judges/12-13.htm">Judges 12:13,15</a>) perhaps the same person as Bedan, in (<a href="/1_samuel/12-11.htm">1 Samuel 12:11</a>) (B.C. 1233-1225).</li> <li>Son of Shashak.

The ruins of Abdeh, some 8 miles north-east of Accho, probably Mark its site. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">ABDON (1)</span><p>ab'-don (`abhdon, perhaps "service"; Abdon):<br><br>(1) A judge of Israel for eight years (<a href="/judges/12-13.htm">Judges 12:13-15</a>). The account says that he was the son of Hillel the Pirathonite, and that he was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim. No mention is made of great public services rendered by him, but it is said that he had seventy well-mounted sons and grandsons. So far as we can judge, he was placed in office as a wealthy elderly man, and performed the routine duties acceptably. Very likely his two next predecessors Ibzan and Elon were men of the same type. An effort has been made to identify Abdon with the Bedan mentioned in <a href="/1_samuel/12-11.htm">1 Samuel 12:11</a>, but the identification is precarious.<br><br>A certain importance attaches to Abdon from the fact that he is the last judge mentioned in the continuous account (<a href="/judges/2-6.htm">Judges 2:6-13:1</a>) in the Book of Judges. After the account of him follows the statement that Israel was delivered into the hands of the Philistines forty years, and with that statement the continuous account closes and the series of personal stories begins-the stories of Samson, of Micah and his Levite, of the Benjamite civil war, followed in our English Bibles by the stories of Ruth and of the childhood of Samuel. With the close of this last story (<a href="/1_samuel/4-18.htm">1 Samuel 4:18</a>) the narrative of public affairs is resumed, at a point when Israel is making a desperate effort, at the close of the forty years of Eli, to throw off the Philistine yoke. A large part of one's views of the history of the period of the Judges will depend on the way in which he combines these events. My own view is that the forty years of <a href="/judges/13-1.htm">Judges 13:1</a> and of <a href="/1_samuel/4-18.htm">1 Samuel 4:18</a> are the same; that at the death of Abdon the Philistines asserted themselves as overlords of Israel; that it was a part of their policy to suppress nationality in Israel; that they abolished the office of judge, and changed the high-priesthood to another family, making Eli high priest; that Eli was sufficiently competent so that many of the functions of national judge drifted into his hands. It should be noted that the regaining of independence was signalized by the reestablishment of the office of judge, with Samuel as incumbent (<a href="/1_samuel/7-6.htm">1 Samuel 7:6</a> and context). This view takes into the account that the narrative concerning Samson is detachable, like the narratives that follow, Samson belonging to an earlier period. See <a href="../s/samson.htm">SAMSON</a>.<br><br>(2) The son of Jeiel and his wife Maacah (<a href="/1_chronicles/8-30.htm">1 Chronicles 8:30</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/9-36.htm">1 Chronicles 9:36</a>). Jeiel is described as the "father of Gibeon," perhaps the founder of the Israelirish community there. This Abdon is described as brother to Ner, the grandfather of King Saul.<br><br>(3) One of the messengers sent by King Josiah to Huldah the prophetess (<a href="/2_chronicles/34-20.htm">2 Chronicles 34:20</a>); called Achbor in <a href="/2_kings/22-12.htm">2 Kings 22:12</a>.<br><br>(4) One of many men of Benjamin mentioned as dwelling in Jerusalem (<a href="/1_chronicles/8-23.htm">1 Chronicles 8:23</a>), possibly in Nehemiah's time, though the date is not clear.<br><br>Willis J.
