CHAIM JACHTER: Rav Yoel suggests that Ivtzan is perhaps from Asher, as the northern Beit Lechem (what is referred to in Israel today as Beit Lechem HaGelilit) is located near the border of Asher.

RYAN NELSON: Ibzan was the judge from the tribe of Asher 

Pretty much the only thing we know about Ibzan is that he had 30 sons and 30 daughters, and he made a point of marrying all of them to people outside of his tribe. This likely would’ve helped extend his influence throughout Israel, and could have played a role in creating a period of peace.

BENI'S FALAFEL

M. ELON: In other words, the person who will declare the redemption, God’s salvation, will be a descendant of Gad. Who is he? Eliyahu ha’Navi (Elijah the Prophet), Eliyahu ha’Gil’adi, Eliyahu of Gil’ad, which is in the portion of Gad.

BAIT LEHEM - HOUSE OF BREAD

M. ELON: Therefore the intention of the verse “but he will raid [“ya’gud”] (at their) heel,” is that Eliyahu will announce (explaining “ya’gud” in the same manner as “haggada” – “telling” for “ya’gud” lacks a letter, allowing it to be read as “ya’ged” – “he will tell,”) about the “heel” – “akev,” which is in fact the ‘ik’v’ta d’m’shicha’ – the “footsteps (prelude) of the Mashiach (Messiah).”
