Benhadad

The son of Tibrimon, king of Syria, came to the assistance of Asa, king of Judah, against Baasha, king of Israel, obliging the latter to return home and succour his own country, and to abandon Ramah, which he had undertaken to fortify, 1 Kings xv, 18. This Benhadad is thought by some to have been the same person with Hadad the Edomite, who rebelled against Solomon toward the end of that prince’s reign, 1 Kings xi, 25. Benhadad is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “son of Hadad, or noise.” This unified study connects 4 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.
