About Rephaiah
Rephaiah is mentioned briefly in the genealogy of the tribe of Issachar (1Ch.7.2). He was one of the sons of Tola, who was a descendant of Issachar, the ninth son of Israel (or 'Jacob'). The genealogy in 1Chronicles 7 lists the main families and clans within the tribe of Issachar. Rephaiah and his brothers, Uzzi, Jeriel, Jahmai, Ibsam, and Shemuel, were described as brave warriors and heads of their families. The tribe of Issachar was known for its warriors and its men of understanding (1Ch.12.32).
