What Does 1 Chronicles 12:15 Mean?
The account highlights a particular feat: these men crossed the Jordan in the first month, when spring runoff had swollen the river over its banks, and then routed their enemies in the valleys to the east and west. They braved a dangerous, flooded crossing to reach and serve David.
Their devotion did not flinch at peril or obstacle. Floodwaters that would turn others back did not stop them. So a heart set on the King presses through every hindrance, counting no danger too great to stand with the one God has chosen.
