12These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle;H935H1732H6860H6113H6440H7586H1121H7027H1368H5826H4421 2they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed; they were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin):H5401H7198H3231H8041H68H2671H7198H7586H251H1144 3Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite,H7218H295H3101H1121H8094H1395H3149H6404H1121H5820H1294H3058H6069 4and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite, *H3460H1393H1368H7970H7970H3414H3166H3110H3107H1452 5Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite;H498H3406H1183H8114H8203H2741 6Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites;H511H3449H5832H3134H3434H7145 7and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.H3132H2069H1121H3395H1446 8Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains.H1425H914H1732H4679H4057H1368H2428H582H6635H4421H6186H6793H7420H6440H6440H738H4116H6643H2022 9Ezer was the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,H5829H7218H5662H8145H446H7992 10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,H4925H7243H3414H2549 11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,H6262H8345H447H7637 12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,H3110H8066H443H8671 13Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.H3414H6224H4344H6249H6240 14These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.H1121H1410H7218H6635H259H6996H3967H1419H505 15It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.H5674H3383H7223H2320H4390H1415H1428H1272H6010H4217H4628 16Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.H935H1121H1144H3063H4679H1732 17David went out to meet them and said to them, "If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you."H1732H3318H6440H6030H559H935H7965H5826H3824H3162H7411H6862H3808H2555H3709H430H1H7200H3198 18Then the Spirit came on Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said: "We are yours, David! We are with you, son of Jesse! Success, success to you, and success to those who help you, for your God will help you." So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.H7307H3847H6022H7218H7970H7991H1732H1121H3448H7965H7965H7965H5826H430H5826H1732H6901H5414H7218H1416 19Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, "It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.")H5307H4519H1732H935H6430H7586H4421H5826H5633H6430H6098H7971H559H5307H113H7586H7218 20When David went to Ziklag, these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh.H3212H6860H5307H4519H5734H3107H3043H4317H3107H453H6769H7218H505H4519 21They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army.H5826H1732H1416H1368H2428H8269H6635 22Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.H6256H3117H3117H935H1732H5826H1419H4264H4264H430 23These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul's kingdom over to him, as the LORD had said:H4557H7218H2502H6635H935H1732H2275H5437H4438H7586H6310H3068 24from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;H1121H3063H5375H6793H7420H8337H505H8083H3967H2502H6635 25from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;H1121H8095H1368H2428H6635H7651H505H3967 26from Levi—4,600,H1121H3878H702H505H8337H3967 27including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men,H3077H5057H175H7969H505H7651H3967 28and Zadok, a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;H6659H5288H1368H2428H1H1004H6242H8147H8269 29from Benjamin, Saul's tribe—3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul's house until then;H1121H1144H251H7586H7969H505H4768H8104H4931H1004H7586 30from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;H1121H669H6242H505H8083H3967H1368H582H2428H8034H1004H1 31from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;H2677H4294H4519H8083H6240H505H5344H8034H935H1732H4427 32from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;H1121H3485H998H3045H6256H3045H3478H6213H7218H3967H251H6310 33from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;H2074H3318H6635H6186H4421H3627H4421H2572H505H5737H3820H3820 34from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;H5321H505H8269H6793H2595H7970H7651H505 35from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;H1839H6186H4421H6242H8083H505H8337H3967 36from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;H836H3318H6635H6186H4421H705H505 37and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.H5676H3383H7206H1425H2677H7626H4519H3627H6635H4421H3967H6242H505 38All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks.
