The prefix "arch," meaning "chief" or "principal," implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, "archangel" is never found in the plural. First Thessalonians 4:16, in speaking of the preeminence of the archangel and the authority of his office, does so in reference to the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ: "The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's Trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first." It is, therefore, not without significance that the only name directly associated with the word "archangel" is Michael.-Jude 9

7 is an important number in Judaism representing wholeness and completeness - so it probably isn't coincidental that there are 7 archangels and 7 days (and 7 Noahide commandments etc.).

Where do you find archangel Chamuel in the Bible?

According to the Bible there are seven archangels, although the name is mentioned only three: Miguel or Michael in English, Gabriel and Raphael. The names of the four archangels in the Bible does not appear, but they are mentioned in the apocryphal texts and the rabbinical literature. Chamuel or Camael is one of the 7 archangels and the leader of the choir master.Another answer:The word "archangel" appears only twice in the Bible (1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Jude 1:9); the second reference identifies him as Michael. No other angel is said to be an archangel, and the name "Chamuel" is not in the Bible. "Archangel" means chief angel, (or PRINCIPAL angel), meaning there is only one. Scripturally, it is never found in the plural.
