Verse 33
33. Zebulun… expert in war… fifty thousand Their numbers and prowess were still in keeping with their ancient fame acquired in the war with Sisera, Judges 5:18.
Which could keep rank… not of double heart This should all be taken together as a single sentence, who set the battle in array with no double heart. The word rendered keep rank, occurs only here and in 1 Chronicles 12:38. Our version seems to have hit the true meaning, but not to have expressed it clearly. The thought is, that the Zebulunite warriors were skillful in falling into rank, or arranging themselves in battle array. They were trained to do this without the least wavering or hesitation, (literally, not with heart and heart,) but with a firm and single mind.
