It signifies someone who is not only physically strong but also possesses moral and spiritual fortitude. This term is often used to denote individuals who are capable leaders, brave in battle, and possess integrity and honor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, being a "Ben-chayil" was a highly esteemed status. It was a patriarchal culture where lineage and family heritage were significant, and being recognized as a "son of valor" was a testament to one's character and abilities. Such individuals were often leaders in military and civic matters, respected for their courage and wisdom.<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/2428.htm">chayil</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"son of might," one of Jehoshaphat's leaders<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ben-hail (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">בֶּןחַֿ֫יִל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>son (man) of might</em>) a prince of Jehoshaphat 2 Chronicles 17:7. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Ben-hail <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> and <a href="/hebrew/2428.htm">chayil</a>; son of might; Ben-Chail, an Israelite -- Ben-hail. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2428.htm">chayil</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>חַ֙יִל֙ חיל chayil ḥa·yil ḥayil<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/2_chronicles/17-7.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Chronicles 17:7</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/17.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לְשָׂרָיו֙ לְבֶן־ <b> חַ֙יִל֙ </b> וּלְעֹבַדְיָ֣ה וְלִזְכַרְיָ֔ה</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/2_chronicles/17.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> his officials, <span class="itali">Ben-hail,</span> Obadiah,<br><a href="/kjvs/2_chronicles/17.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> to his princes, <span class="itali">[even] to Benhail,</span> and to Obadiah,<br><a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/17-7.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> sent his officials <span class="itali">Ben-hail</span> Obadiah Zechariah<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1134.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1134.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1134<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/chayil_1134.htm">ḥa·yil — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1133.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1133"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1133" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1135.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1135"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1135" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
