1 Chronicles 12:38 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 12:38

All these men of war that could keep rank
Well disciplined men:

came with a perfect heart to Hebron to make David king over Israel;
they were all of one mind, and quite hearty and sincere in fixing David on the throne of all Israel:

and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart also to make David
king;
those who came not were of the same mind; it was the unanimous voice of the people that he should be their king.

36 There were forty thousand trained soldiers from Asher, who were ready for war.
37 There were one hundred twenty thousand soldiers from the east side of the Jordan River from the people of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh. They had every kind of weapon.
38 All these fighting men were ready to go to war. They came to Hebron fully agreed to make David king of all Israel. All the other Israelites also agreed to make David king.
39 They spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their relatives had prepared food for them.
40 Also, their neighbors came from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They brought much flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, oil, cows, and sheep, because the people of Israel were very happy.
