International Standard Bible Encyclopedia on Ezbon

Ezbon ez'-bon: ⇒See a list of verses on EZBON in the Bible. (1) ('etsbon; Peshitta, 'etsba`on; Septuagint Thasoban): A son of Gad (Ge 46:16) = Ozni of Nu 26:16 (see OZNI). (2) ('etsbon; Septuagint Asebon): In 1 Ch 7:7 is said to be a grandson of Benjamin. Curtis (Ch., 148) holds that the genealogical table there is that of Zebulun and not Benjamin, and says that Ezbon suggests Ibzan (Jg 12:8-10), a minor judge of Bethlehem of Zebulun (Moore, Judges, 310). ⇒See also the McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia.
