Saul's line runs through Jonathan and Mephibosheth to Micah, and Jarah is Micah's son. The other copy of the list calls him Jehoadah.

Who this is

Jarah was a descendant of Saul through Jonathan and Mephibosheth, the son of Micah in the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 9:42. The parallel genealogy in 1 Chronicles 8:36 lists the same figure as Jehoadah, evidence of scribal variation in transmitting Benjamite names.
