And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’” / So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel. 1 Chronicles 11:1-3 Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood. / Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back.

The companies that came to David at Ziklag23. The armies that came to him at Hebron From Naphtali: The tribe of Naphtali was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and the second son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. This tribe was allocated land in the northern part of Israel, near the Sea of Galilee. The region was known for its fertile land and strategic location, which often made it a target for invaders. In biblical history, Naphtali is noted for its warriors and its role in various battles, including those led by Barak and Deborah in the Book of Judges. 1,000 commanders: Accompanied by 37,000 men: With shield and spear: Persons / Places / Events 1.

Believers today are called to unite in Christ for the advancement of His kingdom.

Leadership and Responsibility The role of the commanders highlights the importance of godly leadership. Leaders in the church are called to guide and equip others for service and spiritual growth. Contribution to God's Work Every tribe and individual had a role in supporting David. Similarly, every believer has a unique contribution to make in the body of Christ.
