Ibzan
Ibzan was a judge in Israel who was known for his strength and his love of women. He had thirty daughters, all of whom he married off to men from other tribes. One day, a young man named Shechem came to Ibzan's house and asked to marry one of his daughters. Ibzan agreed, but only on the condition that Shechem would first kill all of the men in his tribe. Shechem agreed, and Ibzan gave him his daughter in marriage. However, the other tribes were outraged by Shechem's actions, and they attacked Ibzan's tribe. Ibzan led his people to victory, and he killed Shechem and all of his men.
