Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:8

Theological / Devotional

Of the Gadites. Verses 8-15 list the Gadites who joined David while he was holding out in the wilderness.

The hold. The exact location of this stronghold is not known. Probably Adullam is meant (chapter 11:15, 16).

Swift as the roes. Compare 2 Samuel 2:18.
