Bible Figure
Mered
biblical character (First Book of Chronicles)
Mered was a descendant of Judah named in Chronicles and the husband of Bithiah, a daughter of Pharaoh.
Biography
First Chronicles 4 contains a compressed genealogy involving Mered, his wives, and descendants. It explicitly says Mered married Bithiah daughter of Pharaoh, while also naming a Judahite wife and several children or family lines. The syntax is difficult in places, and Scripture gives no independent narrative about Mered.
Biblical Significance
Mered is noteworthy because his genealogy includes a marriage linking a Judahite family with a daughter of Pharaoh. Details beyond the compressed Chronicler genealogy should be stated cautiously.
