BEN-ABINADAB bĕn’ ə bĭn’ ə dăb (בֶּנ־אֲבִֽינָדָ֖ב, son of Abinadab). One of the officers under Solomon who was responsible for the provision of food one month of the year, for the king and his household. The region of Dor was his district (1 Kings 4:11). The KJV has “son of Abinadab” but without designation of which Abinadab. There were at least three Abinadabs from the period of Solomon. One was the second son of Jesse (1 Chron 2:13), David’s older brother, a second was a son of Saul (8:33) and the third was the Abinadab with whom the Ark of the covenant had been left (2 Sam 6:3). The closest family connection with Solomon would be the son of Jesse.
