"And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Leah said, a troop cometh,.... A troop of children, having bore four herself, and now her maid another, and more she expected; or the commander of a troop cometh,
one that shall head an army and overcome his enemies; which agrees with the prophecy of Jacob, Gen 49:19 , and she called his name Gad: which signifies a "troop", glorying in the multitude of her children, that she had or hoped to have.
