Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites, and King Tiglath-pileser^[a] of Assyria took him into exile.

²⁶ So the God of Israel roused the spirit of King Pul^(A) (that is, Tiglath-pileser^[a]) of Assyria, and he took the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and Gozan’s river, where they are until today.
