He is identified as a prince or leader of the Reubenites during the time of the Assyrian captivity. The name Beerah appears in 1 Chronicles 5:6, where it is recorded that he was taken into exile by the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser. This event is part of the larger narrative of the Northern Kingdom of Israel's downfall and the subsequent deportation of its inhabitants. 1 Chronicles 5:6 (BSB): "and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. He was a leader of the Reubenites." The mention of Beerah in the genealogical list underscores the historical context of the Assyrian conquest and the dispersion of the tribes of Israel. Beerah's role as a leader highlights the significance of tribal leadership and the impact of foreign domination on the Israelite community.
