Son(s); used here in construct forms denoting kinship, membership, or belonging to a group or lineage.
The extraordinarily common Hebrew word בֵּן ('son') appears here in a handful of construct or prepositional forms where it denotes lineage, group membership, or familial relationship. In Judges 20:13, 'sons of Belial' designates worthless men among the Benjamites. In 2 Kings 19:37 and Daniel 11:10, it marks a son in a literal dynastic succession. In 1 Chronicles 27:12, it identifies a military commander by his tribal or family affiliation. The word's flexibility — from literal offspring to metaphorical class membership — is reflected across all target languages.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Son or sons in construct, marking kinship or group affiliation. This subset of occurrences uses the prepositional form לְבֵן or suffixed forms to express belonging — whether to a literal father (2 Kgs 19:37, where Sennacherib is struck down by 'his sons') or to a classification (Judg 20:13). Spanish renders variously as 'para-el-hijo,' 'sus-hijos,' while French uses 'et-fils' and German 'Söhne-von,' all reflecting the relational construct. In 1 Chronicles 27:12, it identifies a commander by descent, and in Daniel 11:10 it signals dynastic succession in prophetic vision. 4×
