These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.

1 Chronicles 12:14, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

This verse belongs to the list of Gadite warriors who defected to David at his desert stronghold while he was still a fugitive from Saul. The Chronicler has just described them as lion-faced and swift as gazelles, and now he ranks them: each was a commander, and their fighting strength is stated in a standard Hebrew idiom for extraordinary valor, one man worth a hundred, the greatest worth a thousand.
