Judah, being the tribe from which David hailed, held a significant position among the tribes of Israel. The leadership of Judah by a member of David's family underscores the tribe's prominence and the trust David placed in his kin. This appointment reflects the tribal structure of Israel, where leadership often remained within familial lines. The tribe of Judah is prophetically significant as it is the lineage through which Jesus Christ, the Messiah, would come, fulfilling the prophecy of the scepter not departing from Judah (<a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>).<p><b>over Issachar was Omri son of Michael;</b><br>Omri, son of Michael, is a less prominent figure in the biblical narrative, but his role as leader over Issachar indicates the organized structure of David's administration. Issachar was known for its wisdom and understanding of the times (<a href="/1_chronicles/12-32.htm">1 Chronicles 12:32</a>), suggesting that Omri was likely a man of discernment and capability. The mention of his father, Michael, provides a genealogical anchor, which was important in maintaining tribal identity and heritage. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God working through various tribes and families to accomplish His purposes. The tribe of Issachar, though not as prominent as Judah, played a crucial role in supporting David's reign and the unity of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elihu.htm">Elihu</a></b><br>Identified as one of David's brothers, Elihu is appointed as the leader over the tribe of Judah.
