2. ( àֵöְáּåֹï Sept. Á᾿óåâώí v.r. Åóåâώí ,Vulg. Esbon.) The first-named of the sons (? descendants) of Bela, the son of Benjamin, according to 1Ch_7:7. It is singular, however, that while Ezbon is nowhere else mentioned among the sons of Bela, or Benjamin, he appears here in company with òִéøַé Iri, which is, nevertheless, not a Benjamite family, according to the other lists, but is found in company with Ezbon among the Gadite families, both in Gen_46:16 (Eri, òֵøַé ), and Num_26:16. Were these two Gadite families incorporated into Benjamin after the slaughter mentioned Judges 20? Possibly they were from Jabesh-Gilead (comp. 21:12-14).. SEE BECHER. 1Ch_7:2 seems to fix the date of the census as in king David's time. B.C. cir. 1020.
