1 Chronicles 12:35

From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler records the Danite contingent among the tribal forces that assembled at Hebron to confirm David’s kingship over all Israel.

The words — עֹרְכֵי מִלְחָמָה ('o.re.Khei mil.cha.Mah) = those who prepare for battle.

The thread — The verse continues the Chronicler’s systematic tally of tribal warriors who pledged loyalty to David at Hebron (1 Chronicles 12:34, 36).

Why it lands — It requires the reader to recognize the organized, complete mobilization of Israel’s tribes under a single commander.
