Ben-hur Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Ben-hur was another of the twelve officers appointed by King Solomon to oversee the provision of food for the royal household. He was responsible for the hill country of Ephraim (1Ki. 4:8). Like his fellow officers, Ben-hur played a crucial role in maintaining the smooth functioning of Solomon's court by ensuring a consistent supply of resources from his assigned region. The appointment of these officers reflects Solomon's wisdom in delegating responsibilities and organizing his kingdom effectively.
