Who is Judah?

Sincerely,
Identity Check

Dear Identity Check,

Judah was the fourth son born to Jacob (Gen 29:35).  Judah’s father, Jacob, was also known as Israel and was the father of the nation of Israel (Gen 32:28).  Judah later became the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel (Num 1:27).  The tribe of Judah bore several prominent figures of the Bible.  King David was of the tribe of Judah (1 Sam 17:12), and so were all the subsequent kings of Judah.  In fact, God prophesied that the greatest king would come from the tribe of Judah… and He did.  Jesus was born of the tribe of Judah (Heb 7:14) and is referred to as the “Lion of Judah” (Rev 5:5).
