jeezer in Schaff's Bible Dictionary

JEE'ZER (father of help), shortened form of Abiezer; a descendant of Manasseh through Gilead. Num 26:30. See Abikzer.

jeezer in Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Numbers 26:30. According to some identical with see ABIEZER in the parallel list (1 Chronicles 7:18; Joshua 17:2). Keil distinguishes them, for the family sprung from Jeezer holds the first place among Manassite families, but Abiezer the son of Mathit's sister held no such eminence; from him came Gideon (Judges 6:15) who says "my family is poor (margin my thousand is meanest) in Manasseh."
