    servile. (1.) The son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, the tenth judge
    of Israel (Judg. 12:13-15). He is probably the Bedan of 1 Sam.
    12:11.

      (2.) The first-born of Gibeon of the tribe of Benjamin (1 Chr.
    8:30; 9:36).

      (3.) The son of Micah, one of those whom Josiah sent to the
    prophetess Huldah to ascertain from her the meaning of the
    recently discovered book of the law (2 Chr. 34:20). He is called
    Achbor in 2 Kings 22:12.

      This is the name also of a Levitical town of the Gershonites,
    in the tribe of Asher (Josh. 21:30; 1 Chr. 6:74). The ruins of
    Abdeh, some 8 miles north-east of Accho, probably mark its site.
