Beker

BEKER (bē'kêr, Heb. bekher, firstborn, or young camel)

The second son of Benjamin (Gen.46.21; 1Chr.7.6). His descendants are not listed in the registry of families (Num.26.38; 1Chr.8.1-1Chr.8.6), probably because they were too few in the beginning to form a tribal family. Beker’s nine sons ultimately had 20,200 male descendants (1Chr.7.8-1Chr.7.9). They lived in Anathoth and other places in the territory of Benjamin.A son of Ephraim, and founder of a family (Num.26.35, Bachrites in kjv). But in 1Chr.7.20 we read “Bered,” which may be the correct form.
