1 Chronicles 7

1 Chronicles 7 records the genealogies of the tribes of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, and Asher, listing their descendants, family heads, and numbers of warriors, such as 87,000 able men from Issachar and 26,000 from Asher[2][6][9]. It highlights key events like the deaths of Ephraim's sons Ezer and Elead by men of Gath, Ephraim's mourning, and notable figures like Sherah who built towns, emphasizing tribal lineages in the northern kingdom[1][2].
