Literally, “Geber’s son.” An official in King Solomon’s court who managed the sixth of 12 districts. The area Ben-geber managed began at Ramoth-gilead in northern Transjordan and ended as far north as Argob in Bashan (1 Kings 4:13). His association with Geber, son of Uri (1 Kings 4:19), is not certain.
