Meaning: who is like to God · Male · 1 cross reference
This Michael entry refers to the father of Zebadiah in Ezra 8:8, not to the Benjamite, the royal son of Jehoshaphat, or the father of Omri. He belongs to the family background of one of the groups returning with Ezra. First appears in Ezra 8:8.1
AI summary: This Michael matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a returnee leader in Ezra's caravan. Even a brief paternal notice helps keep the restoration story rooted in remembered households rather than anonymous totals. Taken together, the material presents this Michael as a familial source in the return from exile.1
