1 Issachar had four sons: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.

2 Tola's sons were Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, Ibsam, and Samuel, and they were leaders of their families. In the family history of Tola's descendants, twenty-two thousand six hundred men were listed as fighting men during the time David was king.

3 Uzzi's son was Izrahiah. Izrahiah's sons were Michael, Obadiah, Joel, and Isshiah. All five of them were leaders.

4 Their family history shows they had thirty-six thousand men ready to serve in the army, because they had many wives and children.

5 The records of the family groups of Issachar show there were eighty-seven thousand fighting men.
