The name is associated with a deliverer or judge of Israel. The exact identity of Bedan is debated among scholars, with some suggesting it may refer to a lesser-known judge or be a textual variant or corruption of another name, such as Barak or Abdon.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The period of the Judges in Israel was marked by cycles of apostasy, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. Judges were raised by God to deliver Israel from their enemies and lead them back to faithfulness. The mention of Bedan in this context suggests a role in delivering Israel, though specific details about his life and deeds are not provided in the biblical text.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/5658.htm">Abdon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr. name<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Bedan (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בְּדָן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (= <font class="hebrew2">עַבְדָּן</font> ?). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a judge of Israel</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/12-11.htm">1 Samuel 12:11</a>; but rd probably <font class="hebrew2">בָּרָק</font>, so <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> We, compare Dr (see <a href="/interlinear/judges/4-6.htm">Judges 4:6</a>f.). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a Manassite</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-17.htm">1 Chronicles 7:17</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">בדק</font> (<em>penetrate, split</em> ?
