Who this is

Ben was a Levite appointed by David as one of the porters, or gatekeepers, for the ark of the covenant, named in the list of temple musicians and doorkeepers in 1 Chronicles 15:18. He does not reappear in the parallel list a few verses later, leading some to think his name was duplicated by accident from a neighboring word in the Hebrew text.
