Bible Person
Meaning: son of the Lord · Male · 2 cross references
This Benaiah entry refers to the father of Pelatiah in Ezekiel's vision, not to David's famous commander. He appears through a family connection at the center of a prophetic judgment scene. First appears in Ezek 11:1.1
AI summary: This Benaiah matters because the cross references place his house behind Pelatiah, whose death in Ezekiel's vision dramatizes the seriousness of Jerusalem's corruption. Though Benaiah himself does not speak or act, his name helps anchor the scene in actual familial identity. Taken together, the material presents this Benaiah as the paternal background to a figure whose death underscores prophetic judgment.1
