Issachar’s clans are listed along with totals described as “mighty men of valour” recorded by their generations (1 Chronicles 7:1–5). The passage includes counted numbers connected to their family heads (1 Chronicles 7:1–5).
1Of the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four.
2The sons of Tola: Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Ibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their fathers` houses, [to wit], of Tola; mighty men of valor in their generations: their number in the days of David was twenty-two thousand six hundred.
3The sons of Uzzi: Izrahiah. The sons of Izrahiah: Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, Isshiah, five; all of them chief men.
4With them, by their generations, after their fathers` houses, were bands of the host for war, thirty-six thousand; for they had many wives and sons.
5Their brothers among all the families of Issachar, mighty men of valor, reckoned in all by genealogy, were eighty-seven thousand.
