Zichri

English

A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.17.16.

Zichri was a military commander during the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. He is described as a mighty man of valor who willingly offered himself to serve the Lord and the king. Zichri commanded a force of 200,000 soldiers, which demonstrates the significant military strength of Judah during Jehoshaphat's reign. The passage in 2 Chronicles 17 highlights Jehoshaphat's efforts to strengthen his kingdom and his commitment to following the Lord. Zichri's voluntary service and leadership of a large army reflect the loyalty and devotion of Judah's military leaders to their king and their faith.
