Baara, the name of a wife of a Benjamite in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles
This woman's name appears once in 1 Chronicles 8:8, where Shaharaim the Benjamite dismisses her along with Hushim as his wives. The name Baara is of uncertain etymology. The genealogical context places her in the post-exilic Chronicles material that traces Benjamite lineages. Some translations simply transliterate the Hebrew (Baara), while French and German manuscripts sometimes leave it in Hebrew characters, indicating uncertainty about vocalization or meaning.
