71 And sons of Issachar; Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four. 2 And sons of Tola: Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of the house of their fathers, 'even' of Tola, mighty of valour in their generations: their number in the days of David 'is' twenty and two thousand and six hundred. 3 And sons of Uzzi: Izrahiah; and sons of Izrahiah: Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, Ishiah, Hamishah—all of them heads. 4 And beside them, by their generations, of the house of their fathers, 'are' troops of the host of battle, thirty and six thousand, for they multiplied wives and sons; 5 and their brethren of all the families of Issachar 'are' mighty of valour, eighty and seven thousand, all have their genealogy.

Men become abominable when they forsake the worship of the true God, for any creature object.
