Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Michael Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Michael is mentioned in the book of 2 Chronicles as one of the sons of King Jehoshaphat of Judah (2Ch 21:2). He is listed alongside his brothers: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, and Shephatiah. The passage states that Jehoshaphat gave his sons many gifts of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, along with fortified cities in Judah. However, the kingdom was given to Jehoram, Michael's eldest brother, as he was the firstborn (2Ch 21:3). No further details about Michael's life, character, or role within the royal family are provided in the biblical text. His mention serves to highlight the sons of Jehoshaphat and the distribution of wealth and responsibility among them. The focus of the narrative then shifts to Jehoram's reign and the challenges he faced as king of Judah.
