Furthermore: These persons, called "princes of the tribes," in Ch1 27:22, and Ch1 28:1, appear to have been civil rulers over their several tribes, and honorary men, without pay, not unlike the lords lieutenants of our counties. In this enumeration there is no mention of the tribes of Gad and Asher, probably because they were joined to the neighbouring tribes; or perhaps, the account of these has been lost from the register. 1 Chronicles 27:17
