Michael

מִיכָאֵל · mi.kha.el · H4317J1 mention, all in 1 Chronicles

Who he was

Michael is briefly mentioned in the genealogy of the Levites in the book of 1 Chronicles, specifically in the lineage of the Merarites (1 Chronicles 6:40). He is listed as the son of Baaseiah, who was a descendant of Merari, one of the three main divisions of the Levites. The Merarites were responsible for the tabernacle's framework, pillars, bases, and other structural elements (Numbers 3:36). In the context of 1Chronicles 6, the focus is on the Levitical musicians appointed by David to serve in the temple worship. Although Michael is not explicitly described as a musician, his inclusion in this genealogy suggests that he may have been part of the Levitical musical tradition or that his descendants played a role in the temple music.
