In the context of the Bible, "Ben" is often used as a prefix in Hebrew names to denote lineage or descent, such as in "Ben-Hadad" or "Ben-Hur." This prefix is significant in understanding the genealogical and familial structures within the biblical narrative. Biblical References: While "Ben" as a standalone name does not appear frequently in the Bible, it is integral to many compound names. For example, "Ben-Hadad" refers to several kings of Aram-Damascus, mentioned in <a href="/1_kings/15-18.htm">1 Kings 15:18</a>: "So Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he entrusted it to his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus." Genealogical Significance: The use of "Ben" in biblical names underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the Hebrew culture. It serves as a reminder of the covenantal promises made by God to the patriarchs, which were often passed down through generations. For instance, the name "Benjamin" means "son of the right hand" and reflects Jacob's affection for his youngest son, as seen in <a href="/genesis/35-18.htm">Genesis 35:18</a>: "And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin." Cultural Context: In ancient Israelite society, a person's identity was closely tied to their family and tribe. The prefix "Ben" was a way to honor one's father and maintain a connection to the ancestral line. This practice is evident in the genealogies found throughout the Old Testament, which often list individuals as "son of" to establish their place within the community and God's unfolding plan. Theological Implications: The concept of "sonship" in the Bible extends beyond mere biological descent. It carries theological weight, particularly in the New Testament, where believers are referred to as "sons of God" through faith in Jesus Christ. This spiritual adoption is a fulfillment of the promises made to the patriarchs and is central to the Christian understanding of salvation and identity in Christ. Conclusion: The prefix "Ben" in biblical names is more than a simple identifier; it is a testament to the enduring significance of family, heritage, and divine promise in the biblical narrative. Through these names, the Bible communicates the importance of lineage and the continuity of God's covenantal relationship with His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Bena son<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Ben(son), a Levite, one of the porters appointed by David for the ark.
