1 Ch. 7: Geneaologies Continue

1 Chronicles 7:40 "All these were descendants of Asher—heads of families, choice men, brave warriors and outstanding leaders. The number of men ready for battle, as listed in their genealogy, was 26,000."

The genealogy winds its way through the remaining tribes: Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh (t'other half), Ephraim and Asher.

For some reason, the genealogy for Issachar and Benjamin  and Asher lists fighting men. Not sure why that is...where they the goons of Israel? The heavies? I don't know. 

What's up with Naphtali? No grandchildren?

Zelophehad, who died with no sons, and had the daughters instead descended from Manasseh, by the way.
