1 Chronicles12:33
33 Of Zebulun such as went forth to battel, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand ▪ which could keep rank : they were not of double heart .
For this Tribe being next to that of Issachar, which was generally well-affected to David, were probably very much swayed by their Opinion and Advice.
Or, which were disposed or prepared, or ordered for battel or to fight for David, if occasion so required.
Heb. without an heart and an heart: which may relate either 1. to the whole Body of them, they were all of one heart and one mind towards David, not some for him and others secretly against him, but all with one soul and one consent adhered to him. Or, 2. To the same particular persons, they were each of them sincerely Loyal to David, and did not dissemble with David, pretending to be for him, whilst in their hearts they▪ favoured Sauls Family; which possibly some of those who came to Hebron, did. Or this is particularly noted of this Tribe because they lay under some suspicion in this matter; as also some of the other Tribes did; and therefore the like testimony is given to all of them, v. 38.
