SCRIPTURE

"Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the host, that could set the battle in array, with all manner of instruments of war, fifty thousand, and that could order [the battle array, and were] not of double heart." — 1 Chronicles 12:33 (ASV)

Expert in war... - Rather, this refers to men “equipped for battle with all kinds of armor, who could form a battle line with an undivided heart,” meaning they excelled in their weapons and equipment. The writer notes in each tribe the quality in which it was most admirable.
