Abdon (Man living at the time of United Monarchy)

Abdon son of Hillel was one of the minor judges of Israel, remembered chiefly for his large family of sons and grandsons who rode on donkeys, a mark of considerable local standing; he judged Israel for eight years. Abdon was also a Levitical town belonging to Asher, and the name recurs among Benjamite genealogies and among the officials King Josiah sent to consult the prophetess Huldah.
