âBiblical Data:
A descendant of Reuben, and head of the tribe at the time it was taken into captivity by Tiglath-pileser (5:6).

G. B. L.
âIn Rabbinical Literature:
Beerah, the prince of the tribe of Reuben, is identical with Beeri, the father of the prophet Hosea and himself a prophet (Lev. R. ). He was called ("well") because he was a well-spring of knowledge and scholarly attainments. God caused him to die in the Assyrian captivity, in order that his piety might be of service to his fellow-exiles who died there, and that he might lead them to Palestine at the Resurrection.
