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.
