Beriah
Asher’s son, who moved to Egypt with his family, relatives, and grandfather Jacob (Genesis 46:17; 1 Chronicles 7:30). His descendants were called Beriites (Numbers 26:44).
Ephraim’s youngest son, born after several of his brothers were killed at Gath for stealing cattle (1 Chronicles 7:20–23).
Elpaal’s son, head of a family in the tribe of Benjamin. This Beriah lived at Aijalon and helped kick out invaders from Gath (1 Chronicles 8:13).
Shimei’s son, a Levite of the clan of Gershon who served in the temple at Jerusalem. Because neither Beriah nor his brother Jeush had many sons, their families were counted as a single subclan within the Levites (1 Chronicles 23:10–11).
