1 Chronicles 7:3 In-Context

1 Issachar's four sons were Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.
2 Tola's sons were Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, Ibsam, and Shemuel. These men were heads of the families of Tola. They were soldiers grouped according to their ancestry. In David's day there were 22,600 of them.
3 The five descendants of Uzzi were Izrahiah and Izrahiah's sons Michael, Obadiah, Joel, and Isshiah. All of them were heads [of families].
4 They had many wives and children. So in addition to these men grouped according to their ancestry and families, there were 36,000 soldiers.
5 Their relatives (that is, all of Issachar's families) were fighting men. A total of 87,000 of them was recorded in the genealogy.
