About Rephaiah
Rephaiah is mentioned in the genealogy of King David's descendants (1Ch.3.21). He was a descendant of David through the line of Solomon. The genealogy in 1Chronicles 3 traces the royal line of David, listing the kings of Judah and their offspring. The mention of Rephaiah in this genealogy indicates that he was part of the extended royal family, although he did not become king himself. No additional information is provided about Rephaiah or his life. His inclusion in the genealogy serves to document the continuation of David's lineage and the preservation of the Davidic dynasty.
