Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 12:32

_ _ children of Issachar, ... that had understanding of the times, etc. — Jewish writers say that the people of this tribe were eminent for their acquirements in astronomical and physical science; and the object of the remark was probably to show that the intelligent and learned classes were united with the military, and had declared for David.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:23-40.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Chronicles 12:32

The times — They understood public affairs, the temper of the nation, and the tendencies of the present events. And they shewed their wisdom at this time; for as they had adhered to Saul while he lived, as knowing the time was not yet come for David to take possession of the kingdom: and as they could not join David, while Abner lived, and had the command of the other tribes wherewith they were encompassed, so as soon as he was dead, and they had opportunity to declare themselves, they owned David for their king.
