Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:37

Theological / Devotional

An hundred and twenty thousand. This large total for the two and a half tribes east of the Jordan is indeed remarkable. That David should have so large a number of men in his army from the eastern tribes and have only 6,800 men from his own tribe of Judah may find explanation in the observation that David was already king over Judah and the 6,800 probably represent only the elements that had been disloyal hitherto.
