Mehir מְחִיר
Son of Chelub.
Biography
Mehir is mentioned in the genealogy of Judah, specifically as the son of Chelub (1Ch.4.11). No further information is provided about Mehir or his descendants in the biblical text. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles often serve to establish the lineage and inheritance rights of prominent families in Israel, particularly in the context of the post-exilic period when these records were compiled. However, due to the lack of additional details, Mehir's role and significance in the family of Judah remain unknown.
