Iri

Iri appears once in scripture, listed among the descendants of Benjamin in the Chronicler's genealogy.

A Son of Bela

Bela's sons head a roster of Benjamite warriors. Iri stands fifth in that list: "And the sons of Bela: Ezbon, and Uzzi, and Uzziel, and Jerimoth, and Iri, five; heads of fathers' houses, mighty men of valor; and they were reckoned by genealogy twenty and two thousand and thirty and four" (1Ch 7:7). The frame is military and genealogical at once — these sons are both household heads and "mighty men of valor," contributing to the recorded muster of twenty-two thousand thirty-four men under Bela's line.
