1 Chronicles 12:33
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
32 From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, who with one purpose were devoted to David.
34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.
35 From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
