Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words בֵּן (ben, meaning "son") and הֲדַד (Hadad, a name of a Syrian deity).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Ben-Hadad in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. However, references to Ben-Hadad in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name.

Usage: Ben-Hadad is a proper noun used as a name for several kings of Aram (Syria) in the Old Testament. The name signifies a dynastic title, indicating a lineage or association with the deity Hadad.

Context: Ben-Hadad is a title borne by several kings of Aram-Damascus, a significant kingdom in the ancient Near East. The name appears in various biblical narratives, primarily in the context of interactions and conflicts with the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.

• Ben-Hadad I: He is mentioned in 1 Kings 15:18-20, where King Asa of Judah seeks his help against Baasha, king of Israel. Asa sends treasures from the temple to Ben-Hadad, who agrees to break his treaty with Baasha and attacks Israelite cities, thereby relieving pressure on Judah.

• Ben-Hadad II: This king is prominently featured in the narratives of 1 Kings 20 and 2 Kings 6-8. He leads a coalition against Israel, resulting in several battles with King Ahab. Despite initial victories, Ben-Hadad is eventually defeated by Ahab. In 2 Kings 6, he besieges Samaria, leading to a severe famine. His reign is marked by fluctuating fortunes in his military campaigns against Israel.

• Ben-Hadad III: Mentioned in 2 Kings 13:3, 24-25, he is the son of Hazael and continues the hostilities against Israel. However, during his reign, Israel begins to recover territories lost to Aram, as prophesied by Elisha.

The name Ben-Hadad reflects the political and religious landscape of the time, where kings often bore the names of deities to signify divine favor or legitimacy. The interactions between the Ben-Hadads and the Israelite kings illustrate the complex and often adversarial relationships between these neighboring states.
