Atarah is mentioned briefly in the genealogy of Judah in 1 Chronicles 2. She was the wife of Jerahmeel, who was a descendant of Judah through his son Hezron. Atarah is specifically noted as the mother of Onam, one of Jerahmeel's sons. This genealogical record provides insight into the family structure and lineage of the tribe of Judah, tracing the descendants of one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob'). As the wife of Jerahmeel and mother of Onam, Atarah played a role in the continuation of this important lineage within the tribe of Judah.
