Naphtali
Wrestlings.

Fifth son of Jacob, and second child of Bilhah, Rachel's slave (Gen. 30: 8); his four sons (Gen. 46: 24; Ex. 1: 4; 1 Chr. 7: 13); the blessing on the tribe (Gen. 49: 21; Deut. 33: 23); land of Naphtali (Josh. 19: 32-39). Barak of Kedesh-Naphtali was the one man of not belonging to the tribe (Judg. 4: 6; cf. Judg. 5: 15-18). The history of the tribe ends with the captivity under Tiglath-pileser, but see Isa. 9: 1; Ezek. 48: 3-4, 34; Matt. 4: 15; Rev. 7: 6.
