A descendant of Benjamin (Gen. 46:2121And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. (Genesis 46:21); Judg. 3:1515But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab. (Judges 3:15); 2 Sam. 16:55And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. (2 Samuel 16:5); 2 Sam. 19:16,1816And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David. (2 Samuel 19:16)
18And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan; (2 Samuel 19:18); 1 Kings 2:88And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword. (1 Kings 2:8); 1 Chron. 8:3,5,73And the sons of Bela were, Addar, and Gera, and Abihud, (1 Chronicles 8:3)
5And Gera, and Shephuphan, and Huram. (1 Chronicles 8:5)
7And Naaman, and Ahiah, and Gera, he removed them, and begat Uzza, and Ahihud. (1 Chronicles 8:7)). It is not clear whether all the passages refer to the same person.
