And their brethren among all the families of Issachar,.... As those of Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, 1-Chronicles 7:1.
were men of might; valiant and courageous:
reckoned in all, by their genealogies, fourscore and seven thousand; that is, including with these those of Tola and Uzzi before given.

fourscore and seven thousand--exclusive of the 58,600 men which the Tola branch had produced (1-Chronicles 7:24), so that in the days of David the tribe would have contained a population of 45,600. This large increase was owing to the practice of polygamy, as well as the fruitfulness of the women. A plurality of wives, though tolerated among the Hebrews, was confined chiefly to the great and wealthy; but it seems to have been generally esteemed a privilege by the tribe of Issachar, "for they had many wives and sons" [1-Chronicles 7:4].
