_AND THE NUMBER OF THEM, AFTER THEIR GENEALOGY BY THEIR GENERATIONS, HEADS OF THE HOUSE OF THEIR FATHERS, MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR, WAS TWENTY THOUSAND AND TWO HUNDRED._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 7:1 The great tribes of Judah and Levi being now passed, as well as the minor ones of Simeon, Reuben, and Gad, we reach the SONS OF ISSACHAR. Issachar was Jacob's fifth son by Leah (Genesis 35:23).
