Description
Who was Michael?
Michael is mentioned in the book of 1 Chronicles as one of the Manassites who joined David at Ziklag (1Ch.12.20). When David was fleeing from King Saul, a group of warriors from various tribes came to support him. Among them were seven men from the tribe of Manasseh, including Michael, Jozabad, Jediael, Elihu, and Zillethai. These men are described as captains of the thousands of Manasseh, suggesting they held leadership positions within their tribe (1Ch.12.20). The Manassites who joined David were skilled warriors and played a significant role in his military campaigns. No further details about Michael's specific role, exploits, or relationship with David are provided in the biblical text. His mention serves to highlight the support David received from various tribes during his time of need.
Relations
Direct connections
The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.
Not stated
No family is recorded for this person.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
