The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
Verse Takeaways
1

Commentators note that the list of Naphtali's sons (Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem) is remarkably consistent with later lists in Numbers 26 and 1 Chronicles 7. The only minor variation is the name Shillem, which appears as Shallum in Chronicles. This consistency across different books of the Bible underscores the careful preservation of Israel's family history.
