1. (Sept. ῾ÑÜäá v. r. ῾ÑåúÜ ) A “son” of Shobal son of Judah (1Ch_4:2). B.C. post 1658. He is apparently designated by the epithet Haroeh ( äָøֹàֶä , ha-Roeh, the seer; Sept. Á᾿ñáÜ , Vulg. qui videbat; evidently a mere corruption of Reaiah). SEE SHOBAL.
2. (Sept. ῾Ñç÷Ü ) The son of Micah and father of Baal, apparently phylarchs of the tribe of Reulben not long before the invasion of Tiglath-Pileser (1Ch_5:5, A.V. “Reaia”). B.C. ante 720.
3. (Sept.' ῾ÑáúÜ v. r. ῾ÑááúÜ , etc.) One of the Nethinim whose posterity returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezr_2:47; Neh_7:50). B.C. ante 536.
