Commentary on Numbers 1:43

Naphtali's 53,400 fighting men gave it average military strength among the tribes. The tribe's contribution to Israel's defense was solid if unspectacular, yet this average service was no less crucial to God's purposes than the contributions of larger or more prominent tribes. The kingdom of God advances through the faithful service of many 'average' believers more than through spectacular individual achievements. This democratic principle encourages all Christians to faithful stewardship regardless of perceived significance.
