* whose number.
   This was probably the number returned by Joab and his
   assistants, when they made that census of the people with
   which God was so much displeased.  We find that the effective
   men of Issachar amounted to 87,000; (ver. 5;) 22,600; of whom
   descended from Tola his eldest son; but whether the 36,000
   (ver. 4) were descendants of Tola by Uzzi, and the 22,600; his
   descendants by Tola's other sons; or whether another of
   Issachar's sons be intended, does not clearly appear; though
   the former seems the more obvious meaning.
