What Does 1 Chronicles 12:37 Mean?
From the tribes settled east of the Jordan, Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of Manasseh, came a vast force of 120,000, equipped with every kind of weapon. Even the tribes across the river, far from Hebron, sent their full strength.
Distance and the dividing river did not keep these tribes from coming. Their great number and full equipment show a whole-hearted response. When God draws His people to His King, even those at the margins are gathered in, that all may share in the work.
