Judges 12:8 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. — Judges 12:8
Source Coverage: Judges 12:8-15
We have here a short account of three more of the judges of Israel. The happiest life of individuals, and the happiest state of society, is that which affords the fewest remarkable events. To live in credit and quiet, to be peacefully useful to those around us, to possess a clear conscience; but, above all, and without which nothing can avail, to enjoy communion with God our Saviour while we live, and to die at peace with God and man, form the substance of all that a wise man can
desire.
