Tabrimmon

People · Updated 2026-05-08

Tabrimmon is named once, as a link in the Aramean royal patronymic at Damascus. Asa of Judah, pressed by Baasha of Israel, sends silver and gold from the temple and palace treasuries "to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus" (1Ki 15:18). Ben-hadad accepts the present, breaks his league with Baasha, and strikes the northern cities of Israel (1Ki 15:19-20). Tabrimmon himself does no acting in the narrative; he is identified only as the father of Ben-hadad and the son of Hezion in the three-generation line that fronts this Damascus campaign.
