In the Book of Genesis, Zilpah (זִלְפָּה "Drooping", Standard Hebrew Zilpa, Tiberian Hebrew Zilpāh) is a concubine of Jacob and the mother of Gad and Asher.
According to classical Judaic texts she was also a daughter of Laban, but was given to his other daughter Leah as a handmaiden on the occasion of her marriage to Jacob, see Genesis 29:24, 46:18.
Zilpah is burried in the Tomb of the Matriarchs in Tiberias.

And so Israel's seventh and eighth sons were born by proxy of Leah's maid, Zilpah, and Zilpah becomes his third wife (3).

These are they, the children of Zilpah, Gad and Asher: Gad is abstinence, and Asher is patience.
Gad is the sooner born child, and Asher the latter; for first it needeth that we be attempered in ourself with discreet abstinence, and after that we bear outward disease[64] in strength of patience.
These are the children that Zilpah brought forth in sorrow; for in abstinence and patience the sensuality is punished in the flesh; but that that is sorrow to the sensuality turneth to much comfort and bliss to the affection.

We note that a distinction is drawn between "his brothers" in the first section of the verse and the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah in the second section.
It is interesting that while the Torah stated that Yosef fraternized with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, Rashi stresses Yosef's behavior with the son's of Bilhah; perhaps due to Reuven's earlier slight they were most vulnerable to this type of insult.
To protect the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah from the vicious behavior of the sons of Leah, he decides to bring the focus on himself instead.

After all, Jacob had children by four women, not just two; Bilhah and Zilpah were his concubines, and leaving them out of our prayers is a form of class-exclusiveness.
