Bible Person

Michael

Meaning: who is like to God · Male · 1 cross reference

This Michael entry refers to the father of Omri, ruler over Issachar in David's administrative list, not to the Benjamite, the royal son of Jehoshaphat, or the returnee family figures of the same name. He belongs to the family background of the united monarchy's tribal leadership. First appears in 1 Chr 27:18.1

AI summary: This Michael matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a tribal officer in David's kingdom. Even a brief paternal notice helps humanize the administrative order by tying office to remembered family lines. Taken together, the material presents this Michael as a familial source within David's governing structure.1
