Usage: This proper noun is used in the context of a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to an individual who was one of Solomon's twelve district governors.

Context: Ben-Abinadab is mentioned in the context of King Solomon's administrative organization of Israel. He was one of the twelve officials appointed by Solomon to provide food for the king and his household. Each official was responsible for one month of the year. Ben-Abinadab was in charge of the district of Dor, a region known for its strategic location and fertile land. His appointment is noted in 1 Kings 4:11: "Ben-Abinadab, in all the height of Dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife)." This indicates that Ben-Abinadab was not only a trusted official but also connected to the royal family through marriage, highlighting the political alliances and familial ties that were significant in Solomon's reign.
