Ibsam is mentioned in 1Ch.7.2 as one of the sons of Tola, who was a son of Issachar. Issachar was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and the genealogy in 1Chronicles 7 lists the descendants of this tribe.
Ibsam is listed along with his brothers Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, and Shemuel. These seven individuals are described as "mighty men of valor" and heads of their fathers' houses. This suggests that Ibsam and his brothers were influential leaders within the tribe of Issachar.
The genealogical record in 1Chronicles 7 emphasizes the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society. The mention of Ibsam and his brothers as mighty men of valor also highlights their military prowess and leadership roles within the tribe.
Apart from this brief mention in the genealogy, no other specific details are provided about Ibsam's life or achievements in the Bible. However, his inclusion in the record attests to his significance as a member of the tribe of Issachar and his position as a head of his father's house.
