Verse Takeaways

Allegiance to the King

This verse, naming the sixth and seventh of eleven Gadite heroes, is part of a larger list of warriors who joined David. While seemingly just a record, commentators like Matthew Henry see a powerful spiritual application.

Their allegiance serves as a model for Christians to declare themselves for Jesus, who will in turn receive and honor them.
