“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.”
- 1st Chronicles 12:32
God can use two hundred as well as two thousand or twenty times two thousand. What distinguished the tribe of Issachar was not their numbers but their understanding.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
– Proverbs 9:10
Only by faith are true wisdom and understanding acquired. The smallest tribe excelled in this regard and lead their brethren. For the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. When we are weak and lowly of spirit, then is the greatness of our God exalted.
Selah.
