Binea appears in the genealogical records of Benjamin, specifically in the line descending from King Saul through Jonathan. His name is preserved in the parallel genealogies of 1 Chronicles 8 and 9, which trace the Benjaminite families both generally and specifically those who settled in Jerusalem after the exile. These genealogies served to maintain tribal identity and royal lineage even after the monarchy's end, keeping alive the memory of Saul's house alongside David's.
