Tarea תַּאֲרֵעַ
Son of Micah and grandson of Mephibosheth
Who is Tarea in the Bible?
Tarea, also called Tahrea, was a son of Micah and grandson of Mephibosheth, who himself was the son of Jonathan and grandson of King Saul. He appears in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles 8:35 and 1 Chronicles 9:41, which trace the descendants of Saul's royal line. Tarea's inclusion in these genealogies reflects the biblical practice of preserving the family records of Israel's first king, maintaining the historical record of how Saul's lineage continued through Jonathan's descendants even after the kingdom was established under David.
