[World 2842] [Elon 1] ABDON judgeth eight years: He is exceedingly renowned for his [Elon 2] children, having as many young Nobles and Gallants to his sons and [Elon 3] granchildren, as would make a whole Sanhedrin; namely seventy, and him∣self [Elon 4] the Head. He was an Ephraimite of Pirathon; and so Josephs glory [Elon 5] shineth again in Ephraim, as it had done in Joshua before the time of the [Elon 6] Judges; and had done in Manasseh in the Judges times, in Gedeon, Jair, [Elon 7] and Jephtah. Ephraims low estate in the matter of Abimelech and Shechem, is [Elon 8] now somewhat recovered in Abdon.
