This geographical position often made them vulnerable to external threats and influences, which is reflected in their history of idolatry (Judges 18). Dan's location also made them significant in terms of military strategy, as they were often the first line of defense against northern invaders. The mention of Dan here highlights the unity of Israel under David's leadership, as even the distant tribes rallied to support him.<p><b>28,600:</b><br>This number signifies the substantial military contribution from the tribe of Dan. In the context of ancient Israel, such a large number indicates a well-organized and committed force. The precision of the number suggests a detailed record-keeping practice, emphasizing the importance of each tribe's contribution to David's cause. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God using the collective strength of His people to achieve His purposes.<p><b>Prepared for battle:</b><br>The phrase indicates readiness and willingness to engage in warfare, suggesting that these men were not only numerous but also well-equipped and trained. This preparation underscores the seriousness of the conflict and the commitment of the tribes to David's kingship. In a spiritual sense, it can be seen as a call for believers to be prepared for spiritual battles, echoing the New Testament exhortation to put on the full armor of God (<a href="/ephesians/6-10.htm">Ephesians 6:10-18</a>). The readiness of the Danites can also be seen as a type of Christ's followers being prepared to advance His kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/dan.htm">Dan</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, traditionally descended from Dan, the fifth son of Jacob and Bilhah.
