Mesha (Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy)

First, in plain English
A person, not a place, whatever the tag says. Shaharaim had him by his wife Hodesh, and he heads a Benjamite clan in 1 Chronicles 8:9.
Who this is
Despite the place tag, Mesha here is a person, not a location: the son of Shaharaim by his wife Hodesh, listed as a Benjamite clan head in the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 8:9. He is distinct from both the Arabian place Mesha in Genesis 10:30 and the king of Moab of the same name recorded in 2 Kings 3.
