Beracah, a Benjamite warrior, was one of the men who joined David at Ziklag.
Beracah was a Benjamite warrior from the town of Gibeah, one of the ambidextrous archers and slingers who defected from Saul's tribe to join David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:3). The willingness of Benjamites—Saul's own tribesmen—to support David before his kingship demonstrates how broad his following had grown. Beracah's name means 'blessing,' and he is one of twenty-three warriors from Benjamin and Judah listed as joining David at Ziklag.
