"Ben-hesed, in Arubboth (to him [pertained] Socoh, and all the land of Hepher);" — 1 Kings 4:10 (ASV)

The son of Hesed in Aruboth Which seems to have been in the tribe of Judah by the places that follow:

to him [pertained] Sochoh ; there were two places of this name in that tribe, (Joshua 15:35Joshua 15:48) ;

and all the land of Hepher : there was an Hepher in the land of Canaan, which was a royal city in the times of the Canaanites, (Joshua 12:17) ; and there was an Hepher, the name of a man, a descendant of Judah, to whom, very probably, this land belonged, (1 Chronicles 4:6) ; unless it can be thought to be the portion of land given to the daughters of Hepher, (Joshua 17:3) .
