Tahrea

People · Updated 2026-05-06

Tahrea is a son of Micah listed among the descendants of Saul through Jonathan and Mephibosheth.

Son of Micah

In the genealogy of Saul's house, Tahrea appears with his brothers: "And the sons of Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, [and Ahaz]" (1 Ch 9:41). The bracketed name reflects a textually inserted reading; the four names complete the line of Micah son of Mephibosheth.

Called Tarea

A parallel listing in the same genealogical material spells the name differently: "And the sons of Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz" (1 Ch 8:35). Tahrea and Tarea are the same person under two spellings of the same name across the parallel registers.
