A descendant of Benjamin born in Moab.
Who is Mesha in the Bible?
Mesha was a descendant of Benjamin mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:9 as one of the sons born to Shaharaim in the country of Moab. He was born after Shaharaim had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara, making him part of a secondary family line within the tribe of Benjamin. Mesha appears in the genealogical records of Benjamin, which trace the tribal lineage and family connections during Israel's early history.
