In Jdg 10.1 we read

WaYfQfM )aX:aR"Y ):aBiYMeLeK L:Ho$iYa( )eT_Yi&:Rf)"L T.oWLfH B.eN_P.W.)fH BeN_D.oWDoW )iY$ Yi&.f&KfR . . . 

BDB lists "uncle" and "father's brother" under #2

The LXX seems to have taken it in this sense when it translates

KAI ANESTH META ABIMELEX TOU SWSAI TON ISRAHL QWLA hUIOS QOUA hUIOS PATRADEFOU AUTOU ANHR ISSAXAR . . .

Would this be referring to the Levirite marriage spoken of in Dt. 25.5?
