ez'-bon:
(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 1Ch 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 (Jud 12:8-10), a minor judge of Bethlehem of Zebulun (Moore, Judges, 310).
