Michael

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

This Michael entry refers to a Gadite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 5:14 and the father of Gilead, not to the chiefs, royal sons, or fathers named elsewhere. He belongs to the preserved family record of the eastern tribes. First appears in 1 Chr 5:14.1

AI summary: This Michael matters because his single cross reference carries a Gadite line forward through a remembered father-son link. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the continuity and structure of the eastern tribal memory. Taken together, the material presents this Michael as a genealogical figure in Gad's preserved lineage.1
