Judges 12:8

And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

After him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel. Since Beth-lehem is not followed by the distinguishing term Ephratah or Judah, it is most probable that the northern Beth-lehem is meant-namely, that in the territory of Zebulun (Joshua 19:15). Josephus ('Antiquities,' b. 5:, ch. 7:, sec. 13) says that, except being the head of a very numerous family, 'he did nothing in the seven years of his administration that was worth recording, or deserved a memorial. So he died an old man, and was buried in his own country.'
