The Tribe of Naphtali
48These were the descendants of Naphtali by their clans:
The Jahzeelite clan from Jahzeel,
the Gunite clan from Guni,
49the Jezerite clan from Jezer,
and the Shillemite clan from Shillem.
50These were the clans of Naphtali, and their registration numbered 45,400.
“Naphtali was Jacob’s sixth-born son and the second of two sons by Rachel’s maidservant, Bilhah. Naphtali’s older brother was Dan.”
“Naphtali’s descendants came to be known as the tribe of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The first census in the wilderness credited 53,400 adult, battle-ready males to the tribe of Naphtali (Numbers 1:42–43). A later census taken near the end of the wilderness wanderings counted 45,400 men of Naphtali who were capable of battle (Numbers 26:48).”
This was a loss of 8,000 (15%).
