Zichri was a military commander during the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. He is described as a mighty man of valor who willingly offered himself to serve the Lord and the king. Zichri commanded a force of 200,000 soldiers, which demonstrates the significant military strength of Judah during Jehoshaphat's reign.
