Haydock's commentary
Bethlehem of Juda, where Booz also was born. (Calmet)
The Rabbins make him the same person with Abesan. (Serarius, q. 5.)
Maldonat (in Mat. ii. 1,) believes that this judge was of a city in Zabulon, Josue xix. 15. (Menochius)
In the 6th year of Abesan, the Philistines compelled the Israelites to pay tribute, (chap. xiii. 1,) and Samson was born in the year of the world 2860. (Salien)
