Naphtali
Rachel's servant conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. Then Rachel said, "I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won." So she named him Naphtali. (Genesis 29:33)
Naphtali was the sixth son of Jacob, and the second son born to Bilhah, Rachel's handmaiden. When Jacob went down into Egypt Nahptali had four sons, but little else is known of him. Even his father's prophecy about him is brief.
Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns. (Genesis 49:21)
