However, the concept of governance and provision can be related to Greek terms like διοικητής (dioikētēs, meaning "governor") found in the New Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Ben-deqer is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to an individual who served as one of King Solomon's twelve district governors. These governors were responsible for providing provisions for the king and his household, each for one month of the year.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the role of a district governor was significant in maintaining the administrative and economic stability of a kingdom. Under King Solomon's reign, Israel was divided into twelve districts, each overseen by a governor who managed local resources and ensured the king's needs were met. This system reflects the centralized and organized nature of Solomon's administration, which contributed to the prosperity and peace during his reign.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> and <a href="/hebrew/1856.htm">daqar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"son of Deker," one of Solomon's leaders<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ben-deker (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֶּןדֶּֿ֫קֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (?)
