בֶּן

Ben Hadad
son-of
Personal name: 'Ben-Hadad,' meaning 'son of Hadad.' The title or dynastic name of several kings of Aram-Damascus (Syria) referenced in the Hebrew Bible. The name indicates the king's lineage or association with the storm god Hadad, a prominent deity in the northwest Semitic pantheon. In Israelite texts, 'Ben-Hadad' functions as a throne name across different generations of Aramean rulers, rather than a unique personal name for each.
