Meet Ibzan.
A briefly described judge.
Who was Ibzan?
Ibzan was a judge who led Israel after Jephthah. Judges records his home at Bethlehem, his family and seven years of leadership. It gives no detailed account of his decisions.
The passage is a short historical notice rather than a full adventure story. We can respect its limits while placing Ibzan among the judges.
