Isshiah

Isshiah the Korahite was a warrior who joined David at Ziklag during his flight from Saul, listed among the Levitical warriors in 1 Chronicles 12:6. The Korahites were a Levitical subdivision with a long history of sanctuary service, yet this Isshiah appears in a military context, reflecting the varied roles members of Levitical families played in the early period of the monarchy. His allegiance to David before David became king marks him as among the faithful who rallied to the future king during his years as a fugitive.
