John Gill Commentary Numbers 10:25

"And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai." — Numbers 10:25 (ASV)

And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set
forward
Next after that of Ephraim, the last of all: which was the rearward of all the camps throughout their host; which brought up the rear, and was fittest for that purpose, being the most numerous, next to that of Judah, which led the van; or, the gatherer up of all the camps ^F14 .

Under which were collected and brought on all that belonged to the other tribes; as all under twenty years of age, which were not taken into the camps, and the women and children, and weak and sickly persons, the mixed multitude, and all stragglers:

These were all under the care and charge of this camp, and under the standard of which were Asher and Naphtali, (Numbers 10:26Numbers 10:27) ; over whom were the same captains as in (Numbers 2:25Numbers 2:27Numbers 2:29) .
