Who he was
Michael is listed in the book of 1 Chronicles as one of the chiefs of the tribe of Gad during the reign of Jotham, king of Judah (1 Chronicles 5:13). He is mentioned alongside his brothers: Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jachan, Zia, and Eber. These seven Gadite chiefs are described as brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their fathers' houses (1 Chronicles 5:14). The Gadites settled in the land of Bashan, east of the Jordan River, and were known for their valor and military prowess (1 Chronicles 5:18–22). No further details about Michael's specific role, accomplishments, or lineage are provided in the biblical text.
