His brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother's children, and his father loves him.'" 21 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me so that I may set my eyes on him.'" 22 But we said to my lord, 'The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves, his father will die.'" 23 But you said to your servants, 'If your youngest brother does not come down with you, you will not see my face again.' 24 When we went back to your servant, my father, we told him the words of my lord. 25 Later, our father said, 'Go back and buy us a little more food.' 26 But we said, 'We cannot go down unless our youngest brother is with us. For we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.' 27 Then your servant, my father, said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.' 28 'One of them went away from me, and I said, "Surely he has been torn to pieces," and I have not seen him since.' 29 'If you take this one also from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to the grave in sorrow.' 30 So now, if I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—since his life is so closely bound up with the boy's life— 31 it will happen that when he sees the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought down the gray hair of your servant, our father, in sorrow to the grave. 32 For your servant took responsibility for the boy before my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father all my life.' 33 Now, therefore, please let your servant remain here as a slave to my lord in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers. 34 For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come upon my father.

  • 1 Chr 12:1-9 : 1 These are the men who came to David at Ziklag while he was still banished because of Saul, son of Kish. They were among the warriors who helped in battle. 2 They were armed with bows and could shoot arrows or sling stones with their right or left hand; they were from Saul’s tribe, the Benjaminites. 3 The leaders were Ahiezer and Joash, sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite, Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite. 4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the thirty and a leader over the thirty. 5 Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite. 6 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite. 7 Elkanah, Jeshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites. 8 Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham from Gedor. 9 From the tribe of Gad, certain men joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, trained for battle, armed with shields and spears. Their faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles on the mountains. 10 Ezer was the chief, Obadiah the second in rank, Eliab the third. 11 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth. 12 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh. 13 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth. 14 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh. 15 These Gadites were the leaders of the army; the least of them was a match for a hundred men, and the greatest for a thousand. 16 These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing its banks. They drove out all the people living in the valleys, both to the east and to the west. 17 Some men from Benjamin and Judah also came to David at the stronghold. 18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said: 'We are yours, David! We are with you, son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to those who help you, for your God helps you.' So David received them and made them leaders of his troops. 19 Some members of the tribe of Manasseh joined David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. However, they did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers sent him away after consulting, saying, 'He may turn against us and rejoin his master Saul at the cost of our heads.' 20 When David went to Ziklag, some from the tribe of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for they were all valiant warriors and became leaders in the army. 22 Every day men came to David to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God. 23 These are the numbers of men equipped for war who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the LORD had spoken. 24 From the tribe of Judah, carrying shields and spears: 6,800 armed for battle. 25 From the tribe of Simeon: 7,100 valiant warriors ready for battle. 26 From the tribe of Levi: 4,600 men. 27 Including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men. 28 And Zadok, a young warrior of great strength, with 22 leaders from his family. 29 From the tribe of Benjamin, Saul’s kinsmen: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then. 30 From the sons of Benjamin, Saul's relatives, there were 3,000 men, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul's house until that time. 31 From the tribe of Ephraim, there were 20,800 valiant warriors, famous men from their ancestral houses. 32 From half the tribe of Manasseh, there were 18,000 chosen by name to go and make David king. 33 From the tribe of Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do, there were 200 chiefs, along with all their relatives under their command. 34 From the tribe of Zebulun, there were 50,000 experienced warriors, fully armed and loyal with undivided hearts. 35 From the tribe of Naphtali, there were 1,000 commanders and with them 37,000 men armed with shields and spears. 36 From the tribe of Dan, there were 28,600 prepared for battle. 37 From the tribe of Asher, there were 40,000 experienced warriors ready for battle. 38 From across the Jordan, from the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, there were 120,000 men armed with every kind of weapon for war. 39 All these were skilled warriors who came to Hebron fully determined, with unified hearts, to make David king over all Israel. All the other Israelites were also of one heart to make David king. 40 They were with David for three days, eating and drinking, for their relatives had provided for them.
