Joha

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

1. Son of Beriah of Benjamin, who was "a head of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon who drove away the inhabitants of Gath" (1 Chronicles 8:13; 1 Chronicles 8:16). A similar border encounter of Ephraim's sons with the marauding Philistines of Gath is recorded in 1 Chronicles 7:21-23, and Beriah is there also mentioned. But this name occurs often, e.g. Asher's son (1 Chronicles 7:30; Genesis 46:17).

2. 1 Chronicles 11:45.
