Explanation preview
This verse sits within the Chronicler's list of warriors who came to Hebron to make David king over all Israel, fulfilling the word of the LORD. The half-tribe of Manasseh was a large clan settled east of the Jordan, and the note that these 18,000 were designated by name suggests an organized, deliberate mustering rather than a crowd.
