A Model of Loyalty

This verse concludes the list of eleven mighty warriors from Gad who joined David. While a simple list, commentators like Matthew Henry see a powerful spiritual lesson in the broader passage. The loyalty of these men, who joined David in his time of trouble, serves as a model for believers. Their commitment to their earthly king is seen as an illustration of the wholehearted allegiance Christians are called to have for Jesus Christ, their heavenly King.
