What Does 1 Chronicles 11:42 Mean?
The chronicler records Adina son of Shiza, a Reubenite captain who led thirty men of his own. Here a leader brings not only himself but a whole company into David's service.
Adina's example shows leadership that multiplies. He did not come alone but drew thirty others with him to stand for the king. So God uses faithful leaders to gather and inspire many more. One person given fully to the cause can bring a host along behind, and the kingdom grows as the devoted draw in the devoted.
