22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
22 For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like an army of God.
22 Hardly a day went by without men showing up to help - it wasn't long before his band seemed as large as God's own army!
22 For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.
22 Day after day more men joined David until he had a great army, like the army of God.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:22
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:1-22
(Read 1 Chronicles 12:1-22)
Here is an account of those who appeared and acted as David's friends, while he was persecuted. No difficulties or dangers should keep the sinner from coming to the Savior, nor drive the believer from the path of duty. Those who break through, and overcome in these attempts, will find abundant recompence. From the words of Amasai we may learn how to testify our affection and allegiance to the Lord Jesus; his we must be throughly; on his side we must be forward to appear and act. If we are under the influence of the Spirit, we shall desire to have our lot among them, and to declare ourselves on their side; if in faith and love we embrace the cause of Christ, he will receive, employ, and advance us.
