Clarke's Commentary on the BibleFour wagons - unto the sons of Merari - Because they had the boards, bars, pillars, and sockets of the tabernacle to carry, Numbers 4:31, Numbers 4:32, therefore they had as many more wagons as the Gershonites. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge four wagons Numbers 3:36,37 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof... Numbers 4:28-33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation... the sons. Though the Merarites were the most numerous, yet they had the greatest burden, namely, the boards, bars, pillars, and sockets, to carry. Therefore they had double the number of waggons to what the Gershonites had assigned them. Numbers 7:8 Parallel Commentaries
