Gera

Gera was a Benjamite ancestor mentioned in Genesis 46:21 as a son of Benjamin and in the tribal genealogies of 1 Chronicles 8:3, 5. The name appears several times in the Old Testament as a Benjamite family name, most famously as the father of Ehud the judge (Judges 3:15) and as the father or ancestor of Shimei, who cursed David during his flight from Absalom (2 Samuel 16:5). The recurring use of this Benjamite name reflects either a common ancestral lineage or a family name used across generations.
