Exegesis
Finally, Abidan ben-Gideoni {אֲבִידָן בֶּן־גִּדְעֹנִי | ʾă-vî-dān ben-gi-dē-ō-nî} provides the personal identification. Hebrew’s nominal series omits an overt verb, which the English versions supply (“was listed,” “was in charge,” “shall be”) to render the sense of appointment and ordering.
In context — Numbers 2:22
And next shall be the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan son of Gideoni.
