Old Testament
Neariah
A descendant of the royal house of David listed in the genealogy of the tribe of Judah.
Neariah is identified in 1 Chronicles 3:22 as a son of Shemaiah and a descendant of Zerubbabel, placing him within the royal lineage of David. The name also appears in 1 Chronicles 4:42 as one of the four leaders of the Simeonites who led an expedition to Mount Seir to defeat the remnant of the Amalekites. These two references likely refer to different individuals, as the contexts involve distinct tribal genealogies and historical roles.
