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 ( Ch1 7:5); 22,600 of whom descended from Tola his eldest son; but whether the 36,000 ( Ch1 7:4) 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. Ch1 21:1-5, Ch1 27:1, Ch1 27:23, Ch1 27:24; Sa2 24:1-9 1 Chronicles 7:4
