Who or what is this?
Dara is listed in 1 Chronicles 2:6 as one of five sons of Zerah of the tribe of — the others being Zimri, Ethan, Heman, and Calcol. The same group of names, slightly variant, appears in 1 Kings 4:31 where 's wisdom is said to surpass that of Ethan the Ezrahite and Heman, Calcol, and Darda the sons of Mahol. Whether Dara and Darda are the same figure, and whether the list reflects a connection to wisdom traditions, is a matter of textual comparison. Dara himself receives no individual narrative treatment in scripture.
