(Heb. Malkiel', מִלְכַּיאֵל , king of God; Sept. Μελχιήλ ), the second of the two sons of Beriah, son of Asher (Genesis 46:17); he became the "father" (? founder) of Birzavith (1 Chronicles 7:31), and his descendants bore his name (Numbers 26:45). B.C. 1856. "Josephus (Ant. 2:7, 4) reckons him with Heber among the six sons of Asher, thus making up the number of Jacob's children and grandchildren to seventy, without reckoning great-grandchildren."
