Context: Beera is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel. He is identified as a leader or prince of the tribe of Reuben. In 1 Chronicles 5:6, Beera is noted as one of the captives taken by the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser. The passage highlights the historical context of the Assyrian captivity, which affected the tribes east of the Jordan River, including Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. Beera's mention in this context underscores the political and social upheaval experienced by the Israelites during the Assyrian expansion. The name Beera, meaning "a well," may symbolize sustenance or provision, which is significant given the turbulent times in which he lived.

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."
