What Does 1 Chronicles 27:22 Mean?
The catalog closes with Azareel over the tribe of Dan, and the chronicler sums up: these were the princes of the tribes of Israel. The whole nation, tribe by tribe, now stands accounted for and led.
A complete people, fully shepherded, is the picture this list leaves us. None is left out; each tribe has its prince. So the Good Shepherd gathers all His own, until the full number of His people is known and kept, and not one of those given to Him is lost.
