Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ben-hadad in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context.

Usage: The name "Ben-hadad" means "son of Hadad." It is used as a dynastic title for several kings of Aram (Syria) in the Old Testament. The name signifies the king's association with the god Hadad, reflecting the cultural and religious influences of the region.

Cultural and Historical Background: Ben-hadad was a common name among the kings of Aram, a kingdom located in present-day Syria. The Arameans were often in conflict with Israel, and the kings named Ben-hadad played significant roles in these interactions. The name reflects the syncretism of the time, where local deities like Hadad were integrated into royal titles, indicating divine favor or legitimacy.
