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.
