Ibzan
(Heb. Ibtsan’, , from , to shine, hence illustrious; but accord. to Gesen. perh. of tin, or grievous, from the Chald.; Sept. v.r. ; Joseph. , Ant. 5, 7, 13), the tenth judge of Israel (Jdg 12:8-10). He was of Bethlehem probably the Bethlehem of Zebulun (so Michaelis and Hezel), and not of Judah (as Josephus says). He governed seven years, B.C. 1249-1243. The prosperity of Ibzan is marked by the great number of his children (thirty sons and thirty daughters), and his wealth by their marriages-for they were all married. Some have held, with little probability, that Ibzan was the same with Boaz.-Kitto.

Ibzan
Of Bethlehem (probably in Zebulun, as “Ephratah” or” Judah” is not added, Jos 19:15). Judged Israel for seven years after Jephthah (Jdg 12:8; Jdg 12:10). He took in 30 daughters in law from abroad for his 30 sons, and sent abroad (i.e gave away in marriage) his 30 daughters, which is an additional reason for Phoenicians not Philistines having been his neighbours.

Ibzan
ibzan (, ‘ibhcan): The 10th judge of Israel. His city is given as Bethlehem (whether of Judah or Zebulun is not stated). He judged Israel 7 years, and when he died he was buried in his native place. The only personal details given about him in the Biblical narrative are that he had 30 sons and a like number of daughters. He sent all of his sons abroad for wives and brought husbands from abroad for all his daughters. The exact meaning of ha-huc, abroad, is mere matter of speculation, but the great social importance of the man and, possibly, alliances among tribes, are suggested in the brief narrative (Jdg 12:8-10). Jewish tradition identifies Ibzan with Boaz of Bethlehem-Judah (Talmud, Babha’, Bathra’, 91a).
