Isshiah
Who he was
Isshiah is mentioned briefly in a genealogy of the tribe of Issachar in 1 Chronicles 7:3. He is listed as one of the sons of Izrahiah, along with Michael, Obadiah, Joel, and Ishiah. These five men are described as "mighty men of valor" and heads of their fathers' houses.
As a descendant of Issachar, Isshiah belonged to one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Issachar was known for their wisdom and understanding (1 Chronicles 12:32), and they played a significant role in the history of Israel.
No other information is provided about Isshiah's life, deeds, or role within the tribe. His inclusion in the genealogy serves to demonstrate the continuity of Issachar's lineage and the strength of the tribe's leadership.
