From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Rereward
    (Josh. 6:9), the troops in the rear of an army on the march, the
    rear-guard. This word is a corruption of the French
    arriere-garde. During the wilderness march the tribe of Dan
    formed the rear-guard (Num. 10:25; comp. 1 Sam. 29:2; Isa.
    52:12; 58:8).
