International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ard ( ארדּ , 'ard , meaning unknown): Either directly or more remotely a son of Benjamin. Numbers 26:38-40 mentions five sons of Benjamin, together with Ard and Naaman, the sons of Bela, Benjamin's oldest son, counting all seven as ancestors of Benjamite families. In 1 Chronicles 8:1-3 Addar and Naaman are mentioned, with others, as sons of Bela, Addar and Ard being apparently the same name with the consonants transposed. In Genesis 46:21 ten sons of Benjamin are counted, including at least the three grandsons, Ard and Naaman and Gera.

Ἀδάρ ), a grandson of Benjamin through Bela (Numbers 26:40). B.C. 1856. In Genesis 46:21, he appears as a son of Benjamin, where, however, the Sept. makes him a great-grandson through Gera as a son of Bela. In 1 Chronicles 8:3, he is called ADDAR. His descendants were called Ardites, Heb. Ardi'. אִרְדִּי, Sept. Ἀραδί (Numbers 26:40). (See Benjamin). He is possibly the same with EZBON (See Ezbon) (1 Chronicles 7:7).
