Ben-hur was another of the twelve officers appointed by King Solomon to oversee the provision of food for the royal household. He was responsible for the hill country of Ephraim (1 Ki. 4:8).

The appointment of these officers reflects Solomon's wisdom in delegating responsibilities and organizing his kingdom effectively.
