About Guni
Guni is mentioned in Gen.46.24 and Num.26.48 as one of the sons of Naphtali, who was one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob'). In the genealogy of Jacob's descendants who went to Egypt during the famine, Guni is listed among the sons of Naphtali. The descendants of Guni are referred to as the Gunites in Num.26.48, where they are counted as part of the tribe of Naphtali in the census taken in the wilderness. In 1Ch.7.13, Guni is again mentioned in the genealogy of Naphtali's descendants.
