1. Judges 12:13 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What is unique about Abdon among these three minor judges?

Judges 12:13 (ESV)

13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.

What sets Abdon apart from the other two is that in his case alone is his father’s name is recorded. Hillel seems to have been a significant person in his own right, with “the Pirathonite” implying he was an outstanding man of Pirathon.
