However, the concept of governance and leadership can be related to Greek terms such as ἄρχων (archon, meaning "ruler" or "leader").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name "Ben-chur" means "son of Hur." It is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a person of significance, often associated with leadership or nobility.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of one's lineage or social status. The name "Ben-chur" suggests a connection to a family of standing or nobility, as "Hur" can imply nobility or purity. The use of "ben" indicates a patrilineal relationship, which was a common way to identify individuals in biblical times.<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/2354.htm">Chur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"son of Hur," one of Solomon's leaders<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ben-hur (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">בֶּןחֿוּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>son of Chur</em>) an officer of Solomon <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-8.htm">1 Kings 4:8</a>.
