Michael

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

This Michael entry refers to a Gadite chief in 1 Chronicles 5:13, not to the Issacharite, the royal son of Jehoshaphat, or the fathers named elsewhere. He belongs to the remembered leadership of the eastern tribes. First appears in 1 Chr 5:13.1

AI summary: This Michael matters because his single cross reference places him among the heads of households through whom Gad's tribal identity is preserved. The entry helps show that memory east of the Jordan was carried by named leaders with regional importance. Taken together, the material presents this Michael as a chief within Gad's preserved structure.1
