Jehoaddah, also known as Jarah, was a descendant of King Saul mentioned in the genealogies of Benjamin.
Jehoaddah, also called Jarah in 1 Chronicles 9:42, was a descendant of King Saul through the Benjamite line recorded in 1 Chronicles 8:36. He was a son of Ahaz and the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. The preservation of Saul's genealogy in Chronicles down through multiple post-exilic generations reflects the Chronicler's interest in maintaining the full record of all the tribes of Israel, including the royal house of the defeated dynasty.
