Who he was

Ezbon is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 7:7 as one of the sons of Bela, who was a son of Benjamin. Benjamin was one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob') and the founder of the Israelite tribe of Benjamin. Ezbon was part of the second generation of Benjamites born in Egypt. He is listed along with his brothers Uzzi, Uzziel, Jerimoth, and Iri as the heads of their ancestral houses and mighty warriors (1 Chronicles 7:7). The descendants of Bela, including Ezbon, are described as valiant men who were skilled with the bow (1 Chronicles 8:40).
