Ben-hesed

Ben-hesed was one of the twelve officers appointed by King Solomon to oversee the provision of food for the royal household. He was responsible for the district of Aruboth (1Ki. 4:10). These officers, each assigned to a specific region, ensured a steady supply of provisions for the king and his court. They collected the necessary resources from their respective districts, contributing to the wealth and stability of Solomon's reign. Ben-hesed's role demonstrates the efficient administrative structure implemented by Solomon to manage his kingdom.
