The name "Ben-hadad" means "son of Hadad," with Hadad being the storm and rain god worshiped in the region. The biblical narrative mentions multiple kings by this name, each playing significant roles in the history of Israel and Judah.<br><br><b>Ben-hadad I:</b> <br>The first Ben-hadad mentioned in the Bible is likely the king who formed an alliance with Asa, the king of Judah, against Baasha, the king of Israel. In <a href="/1_kings/15-18.htm">1 Kings 15:18-20</a> , Asa sent silver and gold from the treasuries of the LORD's temple and the royal palace to Ben-hadad, asking him to break his treaty with Baasha. Ben-hadad agreed, attacking the northern cities of Israel, which forced Baasha to withdraw from his fortifications in Ramah.<br><br><b>Ben-hadad II:</b> <br>The second Ben-hadad, often referred to as Ben-hadad II, is a prominent figure in the biblical accounts of the conflicts between Aram and Israel during the reign of Ahab, king of Israel. In <a href="/bsb/1_kings/20.htm">1 Kings 20</a>, Ben-hadad besieged Samaria, demanding tribute and the surrender of Ahab's wives and children. Ahab initially agreed to the demands but resisted when Ben-hadad's demands became more severe. The LORD delivered Israel from Ben-hadad's hand, granting Ahab victory in two battles. Despite this, Ahab spared Ben-hadad's life, a decision that later led to prophetic condemnation (<a href="/1_kings/20-42.htm">1 Kings 20:42</a>).<br><br>Ben-hadad II also appears in the narrative involving the prophet Elisha. In <a href="/2_kings/6-24.htm">2 Kings 6:24-7</a>:20, Ben-hadad besieged Samaria again, leading to a severe famine. Through Elisha's prophecy, the LORD miraculously provided for the city, causing the Aramean army to flee in panic.<br><br><b>Ben-hadad III:</b> <br>The third Ben-hadad, son of Hazael, succeeded his father as king of Aram. During his reign, Israel, under King Jehoash, regained territories previously lost to Aram. This was in fulfillment of Elisha's prophecy to Jehoash, where he struck the ground with arrows, symbolizing victories over Aram (<a href="/2_kings/13-18.htm">2 Kings 13:18-19</a>). Ben-hadad III's reign marked a period of decline for Aram, as Israel regained its strength and territories.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b> <br>The accounts of the Ben-hadads highlight the complex political and military interactions between Israel and its neighbors. These narratives demonstrate the sovereignty of God over nations and kings, as He uses these interactions to fulfill His purposes for Israel. The accounts of Ben-hadad also underscore the importance of obedience to God's commands, as seen in the consequences faced by Ahab for sparing Ben-hadad II.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>The Ben-hadads of Aram-Damascus serve as significant figures in the biblical history of Israel, illustrating the ongoing struggle for power and the divine orchestration of events. Through these accounts, the biblical text reveals the interplay between human actions and divine will, emphasizing the ultimate authority of God over the affairs of nations.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ben-Hadad</span><p>1. A king of Dama scene Syria, hired by Asa king of Judah to make war upon Baasha king of Israel, <a href="/context/1_kings/15-18.htm">1 Kings 15:18-22</a>. He ravaged a large part of Naphtali. </p><p>2. Son and successor of the preceding. In two successive years he raised large armies, and made war upon Ahab king of Israel. He was utterly routed by the aid of Jehovah, God of the hills and the plains also, <a href="/context/1_kings/20-1.htm">1 Kings 20:1-43</a>. Ahab spared him, contrary to the command of God and gave him conditions of peace. These do not seem to have been fulfilled, for three years after, Ahab renewed the war and was slain, <a href="/context/1_kings/22-1.htm">1 Kings 22:1-53</a> After about nine years, Ben-hadad again invaded Israel, and the prophet Elisha was instrumental in frustrating his plans, <a href="/context/2_kings/6-8.htm">2 Kings 6:8-23</a>. But once more renewing the war, he laid siege to Samaria, and reduced it to extremities by famine. God sent a sudden panic upon his army by night, and they fled precipitately, <a href="/2_kings/6-17.htm">2 Kings 6:17</a> 7:6 <a href="/proverbs/28-1.htm">Proverbs 28:1</a>. Shortly before his death, Ben-hadad, being sick, sent Hazael to ask the prophet Elisha, then at Damascus, what the issue would be. The prophet answered that the disease was not mortal, and yet he would surely die; a paradox which Hazael soon after solved by stifling his master in bed, <a href="/context/2_kings/8-7.htm">2 Kings 8:7-15</a> </p><p>3. Son of the Hazael just named. His father had greatly afflicted and oppressed Israel; but he lost all that his father had gained, being thrice defeated by king Jehoash, <a href="/context/2_kings/13-1.htm">2 Kings 13:1-25</a>. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>The standing title of the Syrian kings, meaning "the son of Hadad."

He was murdered probably by Hazael, by whom he was succeeded (<a href="/2_kings/8-7.htm">2 Kings 8:7</a>-15), after a reign of some thirty years.<p>(3.) King of Damascus, and successor of his father Hazael on the throne of Syria (<a href="/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3</a>, 4).
