The name Ben-hadad (meaning 'Son of Hadad') belongs to several kings of Syria/Aram who appear across multiple centuries of Israel's history. The most prominent early Ben-hadad led a large coalition against King Ahab of Israel; later rulers of the same name continued to press against Israel and eventually became instruments of God's judgment. Their threats and defeats mark key moments in Israel's military and spiritual record.
