The name Baana is of Hebrew origin, meaning "son of affliction" or "in the affliction."<br><br>1. <b>Baana, the Son of Ahilud</b>: Baana, the son of Ahilud, is mentioned in the context of King Solomon's administrative organization of Israel. Solomon divided the kingdom into twelve districts, each overseen by an officer responsible for providing provisions for the king and his household. Baana, the son of Ahilud, was appointed as one of these district governors. His jurisdiction included the territories of Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shan, which are located in the northern part of Israel, near the Jezreel Valley. This area was known for its agricultural productivity, making it a significant region for supplying the royal court. The Bible records his role in <a href="/1_kings/4-12.htm">1 Kings 4:12</a>: "Baana son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shan, which is beside Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth Shan to Abel Meholah, as far as Jokmeam."<br><br>2. <b>Baana, the Son of Hushai</b>: Another individual named Baana served as one of Solomon's twelve district governors. Baana, the son of Hushai, was responsible for the region of Asher and Aloth. This area was located in the northern part of Israel, along the Mediterranean coast. The mention of Baana, the son of Hushai, is found in <a href="/1_kings/4-16.htm">1 Kings 4:16</a>: "Baana son of Hushai, in Asher and in Aloth."<br><br>The roles of these two men named Baana highlight the administrative structure established by Solomon to maintain the kingdom's prosperity and ensure the efficient collection of resources. Their responsibilities were crucial for sustaining the king's household and supporting the centralized government.<br><br>The accounts of Baana in the Bible reflect the broader narrative of Solomon's reign, characterized by wisdom, wealth, and extensive building projects, including the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. The efficient management of resources and the appointment of capable officials like Baana were essential components of Solomon's successful rule over Israel.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Baana</span><p><ol> <li>The son of Ahilud, Solmon's commissariat officer in Jezreel and the north of the Jordan valley.
