What Does 1 Chronicles 12:20 Mean?
As David traveled back to Ziklag, seven commanders of Manasseh, each a leader over thousands, came and joined him. These were men of rank in their tribe, and their defection brought real strength to David's growing following.
Leaders who came over drew their soldiers' loyalties with them, so that David's cause was steadily reinforced. God was quietly building the king's support through men of influence, preparing the way for the throne He had promised.
