Ibnijah is a Benjamite named in the genealogy of those settled in Jerusalem after the return from exile.

A Benjamite Ancestor

He stands at the end of a four-generation chain: "and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah" (1 Chr 9:8). The verse traces Meshullam's line back through Shephatiah and Reuel to Ibnijah, who is the most distant ancestor named in this Benjamite line.
