Who he was

Dara is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:6 as one of the five sons of Zerah, along with Zimri, Ethan, Heman, and Calcol. Zerah was one of the twin sons of Judah, born to Tamar (Genesis 38:30).

As a grandson of Judah, Dara was part of the tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Judah played a significant role in Israel's history, as it was prophesied that the Messiah would come from this tribe (Genesis 49:10).

Apart from being listed in the genealogy of Judah, no other details about Dara's life or role are provided in the Bible. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles trace the lineage of the tribes of Israel, demonstrating the importance of family heritage and the fulfillment of God's promises through the generations.
