This Michael entry refers to a Benjaminite family figure in 1 Chronicles 8:16, not to the fathers named in Ezra 8 and 1 Chronicles 27 or to Jehoshaphat's son. He belongs to the compact genealogical material preserving the tribe's internal branches. First appears in 1 Chr 8:16.1

AI summary: This Michael matters because his single cross reference contributes one more name to Benjamin's densely layered family record. Even a brief genealogical entry helps preserve the continuity and detail of the tribe's internal structure. Taken together, the material presents this Michael as a Benjaminite family figure in the preserved genealogy.1
