ImriEnglish

A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at 1Ch.9.4.

Omri was a descendant of Judah who lived in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (1 Chronicles 9:4). He is mentioned in the list of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, which includes people from various tribes who resettled in the city. Omri's mention in this context suggests that he was among the first generation of returnees who helped repopulate Jerusalem and restore the Jewish community there.
