Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:22

Theological / Devotional

Day by day. After Saul’s defeat and death, increasing numbers turned to David as their leader.

Like the host of God. A figure denoting a large number. The actual numbers as given in verses 23-40 are relatively small compared with the full strength of the nation, but the statement, however, is well justified by the contrast between this group and the handful of outlawed unfortunates (1 Samuel 22:1, 2) who followed David at the beginning of his exile.
