they were not of double heart
on 1 Chronicles 12:33-37
The remaining tribes are each marked by one distinguishing trait: Zebulun disciplined enough to keep rank and not of double heart, sending fifty thousand; Naphtali a thousand captains over thirty-seven thousand more; Dan and Asher expert in war; and the tribes across Jordan, Reuben, Gad and the other half of Manasseh, fielding a hundred and twenty thousand with every kind of weapon. Barnes reads this pattern as the Chronicler's method across the whole list, naming in each tribe the one thing it was most admired for rather than repeating the same praise everywhere. Wesley reads not of double heart at Zebulun as loyalty without pretense, men who did not publicly back David while secretly hoping for Saul's house to return.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand. 15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
