1 Chronicles 7:1 In-Context

1 Forsooth the sons of Issachar were four; Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimrom.

2 The sons of Tola were Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, princes by the houses of their kindreds. Of the generation of Tola were numbered (the) strongest men in the days of David, two and twenty thousand and six hundred. (The sons of Tola were Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, the leaders of the houses of their kindreds. They were the strongest men of the descendants of Tola, who, in the days of David, numbered twenty-two thousand and six hundred.)

3 The sons of Uzzi were Izrahiah (The son of Uzzi was Izrahiah); of whom were born Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, and Ishiah, five, all princes.

4 And with them were by their families and peoples, six and thirty thousand most strong men girded to battle; for they had many wives and sons. (And with them, by their families and peoples, were thirty-six thousand most strong men girded for battle; for they had many wives and sons.)

5 And their brethren, by all the kindreds of Issachar, most strong to fight, were numbered fourscore and seven thousand (numbered eighty-seven thousand).
