    GERA

    (Geʹra) [possibly, alien resident].

    1. Son of Benjamin’s firstborn Bela. (1 Chron. 8:1, 3) The designation “sons” at Genesis 46:21, where Gera is listed, apparently includes grandsons.

    2. Evidently another descendant of Bela the Benjamite; possibly identical with the Gera mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:7.—1 Chron. 8:5.

    3. Father of Benjamite Judge Ehud.—Judg. 3:15.

    4. Father of the Benjamite Shimei who called down evil upon David.—2 Sam. 16:5; 19:16, 18; 1 Ki. 2:8.
