A grand gathering takes place as the tribes of Israel unite to officially accept David as their king. Tens of thousands of warriors from the tribe of Manasseh step forward to join this historic moment. This specific delegation comes from the half of the tribe that settled within the borders of the Land of Israel itself, west of the Jordan River [מצודת דוד].
These warriors do not arrive as an anonymous crowd. Instead, they are a carefully selected group, with each individual explicitly chosen and identified by name [מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The tribe takes great care to detail exactly who will represent them in crowning the new king [מצודת דוד]. To reinforce their commitment, the tribal leaders bring a formally signed registry of these names. This document serves as a clear testimony, proving their complete and official consent to transfer the royal power to David [מלבי״ם].
