Also known as Mikri
Michri is briefly mentioned in the book of 1 Chronicles as a Benjamite who lived in Jerusalem (1Ch.9.8). He is listed among the descendants of Benjamin who settled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The context of 1Chronicles 9 provides a genealogical record of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, including the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh (1Ch.9.3). No further details about Michri's life, family, or role in the community are provided in the biblical text. His mention serves to document the Benjamites who resided in Jerusalem during the post-exilic period.

MICH'RI (prize of Jehovah), aBenjamite, the ancestor of Elah. 1 Chr 9:8. MICH'TAM occurs in the inscriptions of six Psalms - namely, 16 and 56-60 - but its true meaning is doubtful. Some derive it from a root denoting gold, and our translation gives it in the margin as "the golden Psalm." More probably, however, it is a musical expression whose signification has been lost.
