Meaning and etymology of the name Ben-hail
|
|
|
| |
Ben-hail 
The only Ben-hail in the Bible is a teacher of Law in the time of king Jehoshaphat of Judah (2 Chronicles 17:7).
The name Ben-hail consists of two elements: the first part is equal to the word  (ben), meaning son. But see the name Ben for a closer look at this word.
The second part of the name Ben-hail comes from the root group  (hul I & II) ,which can be interpreted in many ways.
The second part of the name Ben-hail is spelled identical to the word  , meaning might or strength. For a meaning of the name Ben-hail, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Son Of Strength. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names similarly reads Son Of Strength, but adds Son Of Valour. And BDB Theological Dictionary proposes Son (Man) Of Might.
Other names derived of the root group hull are
Abihail,
Aharhel,
Havilah,
Helam,
Helon,
Hilen,
Holon and
Hull.
