Ben

Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature

Ben (son), is often found as the first element of proper names; in which case the word which follows it is always to be considered dependent on it in the relation of our genitive. The word which follows Ben may either be of itself a proper name, or be an appellative or abstract, the principle of the connection being essentially the same in both cases. [BAR].
