1 Chronicles 12:32
understood ... times <06256 0998> [understanding of the times.]
That is, as the following words indicate, intelligent men, who understood the signs of the times, well versed in political affairs, and knew what was proper to be done in all the exigencies of human life; and who now perceived that it was both the duty and political interest of Israel to advance David to the throne.
knew <03045> [to know.]
relatives <0251> [all their.]
1 Chronicles 15:15
carried ... ark <05375 0727> [bare the ark.]
1 Chronicles 19:18
fled before Israel <05127 06440 03478> [fled before Israel.]
7,000 ..... 40,000 <07651 0505> [seven thousand.]
In the parallel passage, "the men of seven hundred chariots;" which difference probably arose from mistaking [N–wn,] {noon final}, which stands for 700, for [Zayin,] {zayin,} with a dot above, which denotes 7,000, or vice versa: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other.
<0376> [footmen.]
If these troops were as we have suppose, a kind of dismounted cavalry, the terms footmen and horsemen might be indifferently applied to them.
[horsemen.]
