Ibneiah
1:
IBNEIAH (PERSON) [Heb yibnĕyâ (יִבְנְיָה)]. One of the Benjaminites who is listed in 1 Chr 9:8 as having returned from exile in Babylon to Jerusalem. Ibneiah is not listed in Neh 11:7–9, which is a parallel passage to 1 Chr 9:7–9. Although some have attempted to equate Ibneiah with Gabbai in Neh 11:8, Braun (1 Chronicles WBC, 140) has stated that this identification is doubtful. It is more likely that the author of 1 Chronicles 9 and the author of Nehemiah 11 simply had different traditions at their disposal. The name Ibnijah, which occurs later in 1 Chr 9:8, has the same consonants as the name Ibneiah (ybnyh). Although Dahlberg (IDB 2: 671) has suggested that these two names in reality refer to the same person, the text presents them as two individuals separated by several generations.
