BEN* (Person)

Levite musician appointed by King David (1 Chr 15:18, KJB). The Masoretic Text (the OT as annotated by medieval Hebrew scholars) and the KJB include the name Ben, but the Septuagint (ancient Greek translation of the OT) and modern versions omit it because it is missing in verses 20 and 21. Since the Masoretic Text also omits it in the later verses, the inclusion of Ben in verse 18 may be a scribal error.
