One of 12 officers chosen to collect food for King Solomon’s household. His administrative district was found in the area around Naphath-dor, a city on the coast south of Mount Carmel (1 Kings 4:11). The name means “son of Abinadab” and probably means that Ben-abinadab was the son of Solomon’s uncle Abinadab (1 Samuel 16:8; 1 Chronicles 2:13).
