Overview
Jeriel appears in the Old Testament genealogical records as one of the descendants of Issachar, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Though mentioned briefly, his inclusion in Scripture demonstrates God's attention to detail in preserving the complete record of His people's lineage and tribal organization.
Key Scriptures
"The sons of Tola: Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, Ibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their fathers' houses, namely of Tola; mighty men of valor in their generations, whose number in the days of David was 22,600" (1 Chronicles 7:2, ESV).
This genealogical record emphasizes that Jeriel was part of a mighty lineage of warriors who served during King David's reign.
Application
Consider how God values and records the names and contributions of all believers, both prominent and humble, reminding us that our faithfulness matters to Him regardless of earthly recognition.
