1 Kings 15:18 בֶּן־ הֲ֠דַד Ben, Hadad

So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:

Here: The first part of a single royal name, 'son of Hadad'. It is the Hebrew form of the Aramaic name Bar-Hadad.

1 Kings 15:20 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֜ד Ben, Hadad

And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.

1 Kings 20:1 וּבֶן־ הֲדַ֣ד and Ben, Hadad

Now Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he marched up, besieged Samaria, and waged war against it.

Here: The 'and' opens a new episode; the subject is placed first, before the verb, which in Hebrew narrative signals a scene change: 'Now Ben-hadad…'. Ben means 'son of', the first half of the king's name.

1 Kings 20:2 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֔ד Ben, Hadad

Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel,

1 Kings 20:5 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֖ד Ben, Hadad

The messengers came back and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent to you to demand your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.

1 Kings 20:9 בֶן־ הֲדַ֗ד Ben, Hadad

So Ahab answered the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you demanded of your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” So the messengers departed and relayed the message to Ben-hadad.

1 Kings 20:10 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֔ד Ben, Hadad

Then Ben-hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if enough dust remains of Samaria for each of my men to have a handful.”

Here: The first part of the king's name, 'son of'. Here it belongs to a royal name and does not describe family.

1 Kings 20:16 וּבֶן־ הֲדַד֩ and Ben, Hadad

They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk.

1 Kings 20:17 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֗ד Ben, Hadad

And the young officers of the district governors marched out first. Now Ben-hadad had sent out scouts, who reported to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”

1 Kings 20:20 בֶּן־ הֲדַד֙ Ben, Hadad

and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with the cavalry.

1 Kings 20:26 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֖ד Ben, Hadad

In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

1 Kings 20:30 וּבֶן־ הֲדַ֣ד and Ben, Hadad

The rest of them fled into the city of Aphek, where the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the remaining men. Ben-hadad also fled to the city and hid in an inner room.

Here: 'Son of', the first part of the Aramean king's throne name. The 'and' here starts a new line of the story that turns attention to the king himself.

1 Kings 20:32 בֶן־ הֲדַ֛ד Ben, Hadad

So with sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please spare my life.’” And the king answered, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”

1 Kings 20:33 בֶן־ הֲדַ֔ד בֶּן־ הֲדַ֔ד Ben, Hadad

Now the men were looking for a sign of hope, and they quickly grasped at this word and replied, “Yes, your brother Ben-hadad.” “Go and get him!” said the king. Then Ben-hadad came out, and Ahab had him come up into his chariot.

2 Kings 6:24 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֥ד Ben, Hadad

Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.

2 Kings 8:7 וּבֶן־ הֲדַ֥ד and Ben, Hadad

Then Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and the king was told, “The man of God has come here.”

2 Kings 8:9 בֶן־ הֲדַ֤ד Ben, Hadad

So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

2 Kings 13:3 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֥ד Ben, Hadad

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.

2 Kings 13:24 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֥ד Ben, Hadad

When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.

2 Kings 13:25 בֶּן־ הֲדַ֣ד Ben, Hadad

Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.

2 Chronicles 16:2 בֶּן־ הֲדַד֙ Ben, Hadad

So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:

2 Chronicles 16:4 בֶּן הֲדַ֜ד Ben, Hadad

And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.

Jeremiah 49:27 בֶּן־ הֲדָֽד׃ ס Ben, Hadad

“I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”

Amos 1:4 בֶּן־ הֲדָֽד׃ Ben, Hadad

So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.

Here: The first part of the royal name Ben-hadad, 'son of (the god) Hadad'. The Aramaic form was Bar-Hadad.
