OTHNIEL

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 365 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
OTHNIEL , in the Bible, a clan settled at Debir or Kirjathsepher in S. Palestine (Judg. i. 12 sqq., Josh. xv. 16 sqq., contrast Josh. x. 38 seq.), described as the " brother " of Caleb. The name appears in Judg. iii. 7-11 (see
JUDGES
 ), as that of a here who delivered
Israel
  from a North Syrian king. That a kink from the Euphrates who had subjugated
Canaan
  should have been defeated by a clan of the
south
  of Palestine has beef` doubted. There is no evidence of such a situation, and it has been conjectured that Cushan-Rishathaim (the name suggests " C. of
double
  wickedness "!) of Aram (o,K) has arisen from some king (cp. Husham, Gen. xxxvi. 34) or clan (cp.
Cush
 , Num. xii. 1; Cushan, Hab. iii. 7) of Edom (Du) to the
south
  or south-
east
  of Palestine. Othniel recurs in 1 Chron. iv. 13.
See A. Klostermann, Gesch. d. Volkes
Israel
  (1896), p. 122 ;

 , Ency. Bib. col. 969 seq. and references; also the literature to
JUDGES
