Beerah

Male · 1 cross reference

Beerah is a Reubenite chief carried away by the Assyrian king Tilgath-pilneser. He belongs to the eastern-tribe history shaped by exile and judgment. First appears in 1 Chr 5:6.1

AI summary: Beerah matters because his single cross reference ties a named Reubenite leader to the Assyrian deportation. The entry gives personal form to the consequences of Israel's downfall east of the Jordan. Taken together, the material presents Beerah as a tribal chief whose captivity reflects the larger judgment on the northern tribes.1
