Tabrimmon Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Tabrimmon is mentioned in 1Ki 15:18 as the father of Ben-hadad I, who was the king of Syria in Damascus during the reign of Asa king of Judah. Asa made a treaty with Ben-hadad I and sent him silver and gold from the temple treasuries to persuade him to break his treaty with Baasha king of Israel. Ben-hadad I agreed and attacked the northern cities of Israel, forcing Baasha to stop building Ramah. No other details are provided about Tabrimmon. His name may mean "good is Rimmon," referring to a Syrian deity. As the father of Ben-hadad I, Tabrimmon was likely also a king of Syria before his son succeeded him on the throne.
