1 Chronicles 12
1. The companies that came to David at Ziklag
23. The armies that came to him at Hebron














(33) Expert in war . . . Marshalling (or ordering) battle with all kinds of weapons of war, and falling into rank (la'ad?r, forming in line) without a double heart. The expression "falling into rank" occurs only here and in 1Chronicles 12:38. Nine MSS. read instead " helping " (la'z?r), and the LXX. and Vulg. so translate. The Syriac has "to make war with those who disputed the sovranty of David." The phrase "falling into rank without a heart and a heart," asserts the unwavering fidelity and resolute courage of these warriors of Zebulun (comp. Psalm 12:3, "a speech of smooth things with heart and heart they speak"; they think one thing and say another; are double-minded). The number of warriors assigned to Zebulun and Naphtali has been thought surprising, because these tribes "never played an important part in the history of Israel" (comp., however, Judges 5:18). The numbers here given are, at all events, not discordant with those of Numbers 1:31; Numbers 1:43; Numbers 26:27; Numbers 26:50. . . . Verse 33. - Not of double heart. This phrase should be connected closely with the preceding clause, of which it is the termination, the sense being that they were the men to face battle with no doubtful heart.
