On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Vincimur in prælio, sed non in bello--We are foiled in a battle, but not in a campaign. Grace in the soul is often foiled in its conflicts, troops of corruption overcome it, but the cause is God's, and grace will in the issue come off conqueror, yea, more than conqueror, Rom. viii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Concerning Gad, he alludes to his name, which signifies a troop, foresees the character of that tribe, that it should be a warlike tribe; and so we find, 1Ch xii, 8, the Gadites were men of war fit for the battle.
