About Michael
Michael is mentioned in the genealogy of the tribe of Issachar in the book of 1 Chronicles (1Ch.7.3). He is listed as one of the sons of Uzzi, along with his brothers: Izrahiah, Joel, Ishiah, and Obadiah. These five men are described as mighty men of valor, and their father's house had 22,600 troops ready for battle (1Ch.7.4-5). The genealogy emphasizes the military strength and numerical significance of Issachar's descendants. No further details about Michael's life, exploits, or role within the tribe of Issachar are provided in the biblical text. His mention serves to highlight the descendants of Issachar and their contribution to Israel's armed forces.
