  • 1 Chr 12:1-9 : 1 Now these are the ones who came to David at Ziklag, while he kept himself hidden because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war. 2 They were armed with bows and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows from a bow; they were Saul's brethren from Benjamin. 3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite, 4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite, 5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite, 6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites, 7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. 8 And of the Gadites there came to David at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men of war ready for battle, who could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the gazelles upon the mountains; 9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, 10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, 11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, 13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh. 14 These were from the sons of Gad, captains of the army: the least of them was a match for a hundred men, and the greatest for a thousand. 15 These are the ones who crossed over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west. 16 Then some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold. 17 And David went out to meet them, and said to them, If you have come peacefully to help me, my heart shall be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge. 18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, O David, and we are on your side, son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God helps you. So David received them, and made them captains of the band. 19 And some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines, upon advisement, sent him away, saying, He may defect to his master Saul, to the jeopardy of our heads. 20 As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of thousands from Manasseh. 21 And they helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army. 22 For day by day men came to David to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God. 23 Now these are the numbers of the divisions that were ready for war, and came to David at Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD. 24 The sons of Judah bearing shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred armed for war. 25 Of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor for war, seven thousand and one hundred. 26 Of the sons of Levi four thousand and six hundred. 27 Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred; 28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and his father's house, twenty-two captains. 29 Of the sons of Benjamin, the relatives of Saul, three thousand; for until that time, the most of them had maintained their allegiance to the house of Saul. 30 Of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous throughout their father's house. 31 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were recognized by name to come and make David king. 32 Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 33 Of Zebulun, those who went out to battle, skilled in war with all kinds of weapons, fifty thousand who could keep ranks; they were not of double heart. 34 Of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them thirty-seven thousand with shield and spear. 35 Of the Danites, those skilled in war, twenty-eight thousand and six hundred. 36 Of Asher, those who went out to battle, skilled in war, forty thousand. 37 On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all types of weapons of war for battle, one hundred and twenty thousand. 38 All these men of war, who could keep ranks, came with a perfect heart to Hebron to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were of one heart to make David king. 39 They were there with David for three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them. 40 Moreover, those who were near them, from as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen; provisions of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine and oil, oxen and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel.
