This tribe was known for its valor and was strategically located in the northern part of Israel, near the Sea of Galilee. Ishmaiah, the leader appointed over Zebulun, is noted here as the son of Obadiah. The name Ishmaiah means "Yahweh will hear," which reflects a common theme in Hebrew names that emphasize a relationship with God. Obadiah, meaning "servant of Yahweh," suggests a lineage devoted to serving God. This appointment indicates a structured and organized leadership within the tribes, reflecting the administrative order established by King David. The role of Ishmaiah would have been crucial in maintaining the military and civil responsibilities of the tribe, ensuring their readiness and loyalty to the king.<p><b>over Naphtali was Jerimoth son of Azriel;</b><br>Naphtali, another of the twelve tribes, was located in the northern region of Israel, known for its fertile land and strategic position. The tribe is often associated with agility and swiftness, as seen in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-21.htm">Genesis 49:21</a>. Jerimoth, the leader over Naphtali, is identified as the son of Azriel. The name Jerimoth means "heights" or "exalted," which could imply a person of high status or spiritual elevation. Azriel, meaning "God is my help," suggests a heritage of divine reliance and strength. The leadership of Jerimoth over Naphtali would have been significant in maintaining the tribe's contributions to the kingdom, both in terms of military support and economic resources. This appointment reflects the broader theme of divine providence and order within the nation of Israel, as each tribe played a unique role in the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/ishmaiah.htm">Ishmaiah</a></b><br>A leader appointed over the tribe of Zebulun.
