STEPBible TIPNR
Michael is listed in the book of 1 Chronicles as one of the chiefs of the tribe of Gad during the reign of Jotham, king of Judah (1Ch 5:13). He is mentioned alongside his brothers: Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jachan, Zia, and Eber. These seven Gadite chiefs are described as brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their fathers' houses (1Ch 5:14). The Gadites settled in the land of Bashan, east of the Jordan River, and were known for their valor and military prowess (1Ch 5:18-22). No further details about Michael's specific role, accomplishments, or lineage are provided in the biblical text. His mention serves to highlight the leadership structure and notable figures within the tribe of Gad during this period in Israel's history.
