The primary reference to Ishiah is found in <a href="/1_chronicles/7-3.htm">1 Chronicles 7:3</a>, where he is listed as a descendant of Issachar.<br><br><b>Tribal Affiliation:</b> Ishiah is identified as a member of the tribe of Issachar. The tribe of Issachar was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Issachar, the fifth son of Jacob and Leah. The tribe was known for its wisdom and understanding of the times, as noted in <a href="/1_chronicles/12-32.htm">1 Chronicles 12:32</a>.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b> In <a href="/1_chronicles/7.htm">1 Chronicles 7:1-5</a>, the genealogy of the tribe of Issachar is outlined. Ishiah is mentioned as one of the sons of Izrahiah, who was a leader among the men of Issachar. The passage states: "The sons of Izrahiah: Michael, Obadiah, Joel, and Isshiah—all five of them were chiefs" (<a href="/1_chronicles/7-3.htm">1 Chronicles 7:3</a>). This indicates that Ishiah held a position of leadership within his family and tribe.<br><br><b>Role and Significance:</b> While the Bible does not provide extensive details about Ishiah's life or deeds, his inclusion in the genealogical records highlights the importance of family lineage and tribal leadership in ancient Israel. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the historical and spiritual heritage of the Israelites, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people through successive generations.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context:</b> The genealogies in 1 Chronicles were compiled during the post-exilic period, a time when the Israelites were returning from Babylonian captivity and re-establishing their identity as God's chosen people. The chronicler's emphasis on tribal leaders like Ishiah underscores the restoration of Israel's social and religious structures, as well as the reaffirmation of God's promises to the patriarchs.<br><br><b>Related Figures:</b> Ishiah is part of a broader narrative that includes other notable figures from the tribe of Issachar, such as Tola and Puah, who are mentioned earlier in the genealogical record (<a href="/1_chronicles/7.htm">1 Chronicles 7:1</a>). The tribe's reputation for wisdom and discernment is exemplified by the men of Issachar who joined David at Hebron, "men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do" (<a href="/1_chronicles/12-32.htm">1 Chronicles 12:32</a>).<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> Ishiah's mention in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles, though brief, contributes to the rich tapestry of Israel's history and the enduring legacy of the tribes. His role as a leader within the tribe of Issachar reflects the broader themes of leadership, heritage, and divine providence that permeate the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ishiah</span><p>it is the Lord<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ishiah</span><p>(<i>whom Jehovah lends</i>), the fifth of the five sons of Izrahiah, one of the heads of the tribe of Issachar in the time of David.
