Judges 12:13

Three judges close the chapter and what is recorded of them is households and graves rather than an enemy, which is how the book marks its quiet stretches; Adam Clarke counts twenty-five years of peace across the three. Abdon's forty sons and thirty nephews, which in this English means grandsons, ride seventy ass colts, and Jair's thirty sons rode thirty at 10:4, so standing is counted here in mounts and in marriages. Ibzan sent thirty daughters out and took thirty in, and which Bethlehem he came from is unsettled, since Joshua 19:15 puts one in Zebulun while Josephus places him in Judah, and the rabbis quoted by John Gill identify him with Boaz on the strength of the town. Abdon is buried in the mount of the Amalekites inside Ephraim at verse 15, an Amalekite name left standing in Israel's hill country, and Deborah's song at 5:14 already set Ephraim's name against Amalek.
