There are several of this name in Scripture, (See 2 Samuel 23:36; 1 Chronicles 6:46; Ezra 2:10) Some render the word, from Ban, son. Hence, Rachel named her son, Benoni, in her dying moments, while Jacob called him Benjamin. The mother's name made him Ben, the son, oni, of my sorrow. The father's Ben, the son, jamin, the right hand, or the hand of strength.
