Binea

Binea is a descendant of King Saul, named only inside the Saulide genealogy that the Chronicler runs twice. He stands as a single link between Moza and the line that ends with Azel and Azel's six sons.

In the Benjamite Genealogy

The first occurrence steps down from Saul through Jonathan, Merib-baal, and Micah, then through Ahaz, Jehoaddah, Alemeth, Azmaveth, Zimri, and Moza: "And Moza begot Binea; Raphah was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son" (1 Ch 8:37). The line continues immediately to Azel's six named sons, Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan (1 Ch 8:38). Binea sits four generations below Jonathan in this list.

In the Post-Exile Recension

The second occurrence belongs to the Chronicler's parallel list after the resettlement notes of 1 Chronicles 9. The descent is the same with minor name variants — Tahrea for Tarea, Jarah for Jehoaddah — and reaches Moza by the same path, then: "and Moza begot Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son" (1 Ch 9:43). The next-generation name varies (Raphah / Rephaiah), but Binea's place in the sequence is fixed. The same six sons of Azel close the line (1 Ch 9:44).
