1 Chronicles 5:7 In-Context

5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was the prince of the Reubenites.
7 Beerah's brothers are listed in the family tree by families: first Jeiel, followed by Zechariah:

9 His family occupied the land up to the edge of the desert that goes all the way to the Euphrates River, since their growing herds of livestock spilled out of Gilead.
