Ben Hadad
and Ben
Personal name: 'Ben-Hadad,' meaning 'son of Hadad.' The title or dynastic name of several kings of Aram-Damascus (Syria) referenced in the Hebrew Bible. The name indicates the king's lineage or association with the storm god Hadad, a prominent deity in the northwest Semitic pantheon. In Israelite texts, 'Ben-Hadad' functions as a throne name across different generations of Aramean rulers, rather than a unique personal name for each.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1130-03
and son-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ('and') + masculine singular noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בן derives from בנה ('to build'), expressing a male offspring as one who builds or continues the household. The masculine singular construct state requires the relational form 'son-of,' and the prefixed וּ adds 'and.' |
