1
Now these
are the ones who came
to David
at Ziklag,
while he was still
restricted
because
of Saul
the son
of Kish;
and they were among the mighty men
who helped
him in war.
2
They were equipped
with bows,
using both the right hand
and the left
to sling stones
and to shoot arrows
from the bow;
they were Saul's
kinsmen
from Benjamin.
3
The chief
was Ahiezer,
then Joash,
the sons
of Shemaah
the Gibeathite;
and Jeziel
and Pelet,
the sons
of Azmaveth,
and Beracah
and Jehu
the Anathothite,
4
and Ishmaiah
the Gibeonite,
a mighty man
among the thirty,
and over
the thirty.
Then Jeremiah,
Jahaziel,
Johanan,
Jozabad
the Gederathite,
5
Eluzai,
Jerimoth,
Bealiah,
Shemariah,
Shephatiah
the Haruphite,
6
Elkanah,
Isshiah,
Azarel,
Joezer,
Jashobeam,
the Korahites,
7
and Joelah
and Zebadiah,
the sons
of Jeroham
of Gedor.
8
From the Gadites
there came over
to David
in the stronghold
in the wilderness,
mighty
men
of valor,
men
trained
for war,
who could handle
shield
and spear,
and whose faces were like the faces
of lions,
and they were as swift
as the gazelles
on the mountains.
9
Ezer
was 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,
Machbannai
the eleventh.
14
These
of the sons
of Gad
were captains
of the army;
he who was least
was equal to a hundred
and the greatest
to a thousand.
15
These
are the ones
who
crossed
the Jordan
in the first
month
when it was overflowing
all
its banks
and they put to flight
all
those in the v
all
eys,
both to the east
and to the west.
16
Then some
of the sons
of Benjamin
and Judah
came
to the stronghold
to David.
17
David
went
out to meet
them, and said
to them, "If
you come
peacefully
to me to help
me, my heart
shall be united
with you; but if
to betray
me to my adversaries,
since there is no
wrong
in my hands,
may the God
of our fathers
look
on it and decide."
18
Then the Spirit
came
upon Amasai,
who was the chief
of the thirty,
and he said, "We are yours, O David,
And with you, O son
of Jesse!
Peace, peace to you, And peace
to him who
helps
you; Indeed,
your God
helps
you!" Then David
received
them and made
them captains
of the band.
19
From Manasseh
also some
defected
to David
when he was about to go
to battle
with the Philistines
against
Saul.
But they did not help
them, for the lords
of the Philistines
after consultation
sent him away,
saying,
"At the cost of our heads
he may defect
to his master
Saul.
"
20
As he went
to Ziklag
there defected
to him from Manasseh:
Adnah,
Jozabad,
Jediael,
Michael,
Jozabad,
Elihu
and Zillethai,
captains
of thousands
who
belonged to Manasseh.
21
They helped
David
against
the band of raiders,
for they were all
mighty men
of valor,
and were captains
in the army.
22
For day by day
men came
to David
to help
him, until
there was a great
army like the army
of God.
23
Now these
are the numbers
of the divisions
equipped
for war,
who 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
who bore
shield
and spear
were 6,800,
equipped
for war.
25
Of the sons
of Simeon,
mighty men
of valor
for war,
7,100.
26
Of the sons
of Levi
4,600.
27
Now Jehoiada
was the leader
of the house of Aaron,
and with him were 3,700,
28
also Zadok,
a young man
mighty
of valor,
and of his father's
house
twenty-two
captains.
29
Of the sons
of Benjamin,
Saul's
kinsmen,
3,000;
for until
now
the greatest part
of them had kept
their allegiance
to the house
of Saul.
30
Of the sons
of Ephraim
20,800,
mighty
men
of valor,
famous
men
in their fathers'
households.
31
Of the half-tribe
of Manasseh
18,000,
who
were designated
by name
to come
and make
David
king.
32
Of the sons
of Issachar,
men who understood
the times,
with knowledge
of what
Israel
should do,
their chiefs
were two hundred;
and all
their kinsmen
were at their command.
33
Of Zebulun,
there were 50,000
who went
out in the army,
who could draw
up in battle
formation
with all
kinds of weapons
of war
and helped
David with an undivided
heart.
34
Of Naphtali
there were 1,000
captains,
and with them 37,000
with shield
and spear.
35
Of the Danites
who could draw
up in battle
formation,
there were 28,600.
36
Of Asher
there were 40,000
who went
out in the army
to draw
up in battle
formation.
37
From the other side
of the Jordan,
of the Reubenites
and the Gadites
and of the half-tribe
of Manasseh,
there were 120,000
with all
kinds of weapons
of war
for the battle.
38
All
these,
being men
of war
who could draw
up in battle formation,
came
to Hebron
with a perfect
heart
to make
David
king
over
all
Israel;
and
all
the rest
also
of Israel
were of one
mind
to make
David
king
.
39
They were there
with David
three
days,
eating
and drinking,
for their kinsmen
had prepared
for them.
40
Moreover those who were near
to them, even as far
as Issachar
and Zebulun
and Naphtali,
brought
food
on donkeys,
camels,
mules
and on
oxen
,
great quantities
of flour
cakes
,
fig
cakes
and bunches of raisins,
wine,
oil,
oxen
and sheep.
There was joy
indeed
in Israel.
