Each governor was responsible for bringing food to the king one month of each year. 8 These are the names of the twelve governors: Ben-Hur was governor of the mountain country of Ephraim. 9 Ben-Deker was governor of Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth Shemesh, and Elon Bethhanan. 10 Ben-Hesed was governor of Arubboth, Socoh, and all the land of Hepher.
