Ben (personal name: Levite musician, possibly shortened form; Septuagint omits)
This simple personal name ('son') identifies a Levite in 1 Chronicles 15:18, though the Septuagint omits it, suggesting possible textual corruption or abbreviation. It may represent a shortened form of a longer theophoric name. The unusual brevity has led some scholars to question whether this is a complete name or a scribal error.
