ShimeiEnglish

A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.8.21.

Beraiah is mentioned in the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin as a descendant of Shimei (1 Ch. 8:21). He was part of the lineage that traced its roots back to Benjamin, the youngest son of Israel (or 'Jacob'). No further details about Beraiah's life or role are provided in the biblical text. His inclusion in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage and the preservation of ancestral records among the Israelites.
