Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - These thirteen princes of the tribes of Israel were presumably in each case those who represented the tribe according to lineal descent in David's time. Though Gad and Asher are left out, the thirteen are filled up by the allowance of two for Levi, viz. one for the Levites and one for the priests; and three for Joseph, viz. one for Ephraim and two for the divided tribe of Manasseh.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) Of Dan.--Dan and Zebulun, omitted in the tribal registers of 1 Chronicles 4-7, are both mentioned in the present list. On the other hand, Gad and Asher are unnoticed here; why, we cannot say. The total--"twelve"--is made by counting Manasseh as two and Joseph as three tribes. The order of the first six names is that of Genesis 35:23. Why Dan is mentioned last is not clear: some have thought it indicates the chronicler's reprobation of the idolatry of the tribe (1Kings 12:29-30; comp. Judges 18:30; Amos 8:14); but he has probably kept the order of his source.These were the princes.--The same word as "captains" in the former list (s?rim).
