Judges 12:10
Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
from Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon, Judges 12:8-15
What it says

Ibzan dies and is buried in Bethlehem. His notice ends as briefly as it began.

What it is doing

It closes Ibzan's short record and maintains the chapter's succession rhythm.

In context

8After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. 9He had thirty sons, as well as thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage to men outside his clan; and for his sons he brought back thirty wives from elsewhere. Ibzan judged Israel seven years. 10Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem. 11After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years. 12Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun. 13After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel. 14He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years. 15Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
