Bible Person

Bedan

Meaning: according to judgment · Male · 1 cross reference

This Bedan entry refers to a descendant in the line of Manasseh in 1 Chronicles 7, not to the uncertain judge-name mentioned by Samuel. He belongs to the tribal genealogy of Joseph's descendants. First appears in 1 Chr 7:17.1

AI summary: This Bedan matters because his single cross reference preserves one branch of Manasseh's family memory in Chronicles. Even a brief name in a genealogy helps maintain the continuity of tribal identity across generations. Taken together, the material presents this Bedan as a genealogical figure within Manasseh's record.1
