From Dan
The tribe of Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Jacob's fifth son, Dan. Historically, Dan was located in the northernmost part of Israel, often symbolizing the extremities of the nation. The mention of Dan here signifies the unity and inclusiveness of all Israelite tribes in supporting David. The Hebrew root for Dan means "judge," reflecting the tribe's role in the judicial and military aspects of Israelite society. This highlights the importance of justice and leadership in the community of God's people.

28,600
This specific number indicates the significant contribution of the tribe of Dan to David's army. In the context of ancient Israel, such a large number of warriors from a single tribe underscores the widespread support for David's kingship. Numerically, the number 28,600 suggests completeness and readiness, as numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic meanings. This reflects the preparedness and willingness of the people to rally behind God's anointed leader.

ready for battle
The phrase "ready for battle" emphasizes the preparedness and willingness of the Danites to engage in warfare. In Hebrew, the concept of being "ready" often implies not just physical preparedness but also mental and spiritual readiness. This readiness is a testament to their commitment and loyalty to David, recognizing him as the rightful king chosen by God. Historically, this readiness would involve not only weapons and armor but also strategic planning and unity among the troops. Spiritually, it signifies the call for believers to be prepared to stand firm in their faith and to support God's chosen leaders in times of conflict.

(35) The Danites.--Literally, the Danite, as in 1Chronicles 12:26, the Levite. Comp. Note on 1Chronicles 7:12. Dan is not omitted in the present list.
