Naphtali (in Hebrew : - "My Struggle") is the sixth son of Jacob and the second son of his third wife Bilhah. His birth is told in the book of Genesis. His descendants formed the tribe of Naphtali.
According to the Bible, it is Rachel who names the child, the son of her servant, referring to her struggle against her sister Leah who has given many children to Jacob.
