Son of Becher, descendant of Benjamin
Also known as: Allemeth, Alemeth
Alemet is a person who appears in the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 7:8, listed as one of the nine sons of Becher, son of Benjamin. He belonged to the tribe of Benjamin, known for its skilled warriors and military significance in Israel's early history. The lineage of Becher is described as very numerous; at a census, 20,200 fighting men were recorded (1 Chr 7:9). Beyond this entry in the genealogies, nothing more is told about Alemet's personal life or deeds. It is worth noting that the name Alemet also appears as a place name for a Levitical city in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin (1 Chr 6:60), but the person and the place should not be confused.
