Who is Paseah in the Bible?

Paseah was a son of Eshton from the tribe of Judah, mentioned in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles 4:12. He is listed among Eshton's three sons, alongside Beth-rapha and Tehinnah, as part of the lineage of the men of Recah within Judah. While Paseah appears only briefly in Scripture as part of Judah's family line, his inclusion in the genealogy demonstrates the careful record-keeping of tribal ancestry that was important to Israel's identity and inheritance of the promised land.
