1 Chronicles 27:1-15

There is very little more to be observed on the contents of those verses, than, that as David wisely thought in time of peace, it is right to be prepared for war, in a world like the present, so here we see the means he adopted to be secure from foreign foes. In a spiritual sense it may be observed, that as good soldiers of Jesus Christ we ought to be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might, and to take to us the whole armour of God. There is somewhat remarkable in the selection of captains for each month in the year. There were twelve tribes of Israel, and Jesus chose twelve apostles. The gates of the New Jerusalem had the names of the same upon them.
