Now these are they that came{H935} to David{H1732} to Ziklag,{H6860} while he yet kept himself close{H6113} because{H6440} of Saul{H7586} the son{H1121} of Kish;{H7027} and they were among the mighty men,{H1368} his helpers{H5826} in war.{H4421}

They were armed{H5401} with bows,{H7198} and could use both the right hand{H3231} and the left{H8041} in slinging stones{H68} and in shooting arrows{H2671} from the bow:{H7198} they were of Saul's{H7586} brethren{H251} of Benjamin.{H1144}

The chief{H7218} was Ahiezer;{H295} then Joash,{H3101} the sons{H1121} of Shemaah{H8094} the Gibeathite,{H1395} and Jeziel,{H3149} and Pelet,{H6404} the sons{H1121} of Azmaveth,{H5820} and Beracah,{H1294} and Jehu{H3058} the Anathothite,{H6069}

and Joelah,{H3132} and Zebadiah,{H2069} the sons{H1121} of Jeroham{H3395} of Gedor.{H1446}

And of the Gadites{H1425} there separated{H914} themselves unto David{H1732} to the stronghold{H4679} in the wilderness,{H4057} mighty{H2428} men{H1368} of valor,{H6635} men{H582} trained for war,{H4421} that could handle{H6186} shield{H6793} and spear;{H7420} whose faces{H6440} were like the faces{H6440} of lions,{H738} and they were as swift{H4116} as the roes{H6643} upon the mountains;{H2022}

These of the sons{H1121} of Gad{H1410} were captains{H7218} of the host:{H6635} he{H259} that was least{H6996} was equal to a hundred,{H3967} and the greatest{H1419} to a thousand.{H505}

These are they that went over{H5674} the Jordan{H3383} in the first{H7223} month,{H2320} when it had overflowed{H4390} all its banks;{H1415} and they put to flight{H1272} all them of the valleys,{H6010} both toward the east,{H4217} and toward the west.{H4628}

And there came{H935} of the children{H1121} of Benjamin{H1144} and Judah{H3063} to the stronghold{H4679} unto David.{H1732}

And David{H1732} went out{H3318} to meet{H6440} them, and answered{H6030} and said{H559} unto them, If ye be come{H935} peaceably{H7965} unto me to help{H5826} me, my heart{H3824} shall be knit{H3162} unto you; but if [ye be come] to betray{H7411} me to mine adversaries,{H6862} seeing there is no{H3808} wrong{H2555} in my hands,{H3709} the God{H430} of our fathers{H1} look{H7200} thereon, and rebuke{H3198} it.

Then the Spirit{H7307} came{H3847} upon Amasai,{H6022} who was chief{H7218} of the thirty,{H7970} [and he said], Thine are we, David,{H1732} and on thy side, thou son{H1121} of Jesse:{H3448} peace,{H7965} peace{H7965} be unto thee, and peace{H7965} be to thy helpers;{H5826} for thy God{H430} helpeth{H5826} thee. Then David{H1732} received{H6901} them, and made{H5414} them captains{H7218} of the band.{H1416}

Of Manasseh{H4519} also there fell{H5307} away some to David,{H1732} when he came{H935} with the Philistines{H6430} against Saul{H7586} to battle:{H4421} but they helped{H5826} them not; for the lords{H5633} of the Philistines{H6430} upon advisement{H6098} sent{H7971} him away, saying,{H559} He will fall{H5307} away to his master{H113} Saul{H7586} to the jeopardy of our heads.{H7218}

As he went{H3212} to Ziklag,{H6860} there fell{H5307} to him of Manasseh,{H4519} Adnah,{H5734} and Jozabad,{H3107} and Jediael,{H3043} and Michael,{H4317} and Jozabad,{H3107} and Elihu,{H453} and Zillethai,{H6769} captains{H7218} of thousands{H505} that were of Manasseh.{H4519}

And they helped{H5826} David{H1732} against the band{H1416} of rovers: for they were all mighty men{H1368} of valor,{H2428} and were captains{H8269} in the host.{H6635}

For from{H6256} day{H3117} to day{H3117} men came{H935} to David{H1732} to help{H5826} him, until there was a great{H1419} host,{H4264} like the host{H4264} of God.{H430}

And these are the numbers{H4557} of the heads{H7218} of them that were armed{H2502} for war,{H6635} who came{H935} to David{H1732} to Hebron,{H2275} to turn{H5437} the kingdom{H4438} of Saul{H7586} to him, according to the word{H6310} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And of the children{H1121} of Benjamin,{H1144} the brethren{H251} of Saul,{H7586} three{H7969} thousand:{H505} for hitherto the greatest{H4768} part of them had kept{H8104} their allegiance{H4931} to the house{H1004} of Saul.{H7586}

And of the children{H1121} of Ephraim{H669} twenty{H6242} thousand{H505} and eight{H8083} hundred,{H3967} mighty{H1368} men{H582} of valor,{H2428} famous{H8034} men in their fathers'{H1} houses.{H1004}

And of the children{H1121} of Issachar,{H3485} men that had understanding{H998} of the times,{H6256} to know{H3045} what Israel{H3478} ought to do,{H6213} the heads{H7218} of them were two hundred;{H3967} and all their brethren{H251} were at their commandment.{H6310}

Of Zebulun,{H2074} such as were able to go out{H3318} in the host,{H6635} that could set{H6186} the battle{H4421} in array, with all manner of instruments{H3627} of war,{H4421} fifty{H2572} thousand,{H505} and that could order{H5737} [the battle array, and were] not of double{H3820} heart.{H3820}

And of Naphtali{H5321} a thousand{H505} captains,{H8269} and with them with shield{H6793} and spear{H2595} thirty{H7970} and seven{H7651} thousand.{H505}

All these being men{H582} of war,{H4421} that could order{H5737} the battle array,{H4634} came{H935} with a perfect{H8003} heart{H3820} to Hebron,{H2275} to make David{H1732} king{H4427} over all Israel:{H3478} and all the rest{H7611} also of Israel{H3478} were of one{H259} heart{H3824} to make David{H1732} king.{H4427}

And they were there with David{H1732} three{H7969} days,{H3117} eating{H398} and drinking;{H8354} for their brethren{H251} had made preparation{H3559} for them.
