Now
these
[are]
they
that
came
to
David
to
Ziklag,
while
he
yet
kept
himself
close
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
out
of
a
bow,
[even]
of
Saul’s
brethren
of
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
Antothite,
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
separated
themselves
unto
David
into
the
hold
to
the
wilderness
men
of
might,
[and]
men
of
war
[fit]
for
the
battle,
that
could
handle
shield
and
buckler,
whose
faces
[were
like]
the
faces
of
lions,
and
[were]
as
swift
as
the
roes
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]
of
the
sons
of
Gad,
captains
of
the
host:
one
of
the
least
[was]
over
an
hundred,
and
the
greatest
over
a
thousand.
15
These
[are]
they
that
went
over
Jordan
in
the
first
month,
when
it
had
overflown
all
his
banks;
and
they
put
to
flight
all
[them]
of
the
valleys,
[both]
toward
the
east,
and
toward
the
west.
16
And
there
came
of
the
children
of
Benjamin
and
Judah
to
the
hold
unto
David.
17
And
David
went
out
to
meet
them,
and
answered
and
said
unto
them,
If
ye
be
come
peaceably
unto
me
to
help
me,
mine
heart
shall
be
knit
unto
you:
but
if
[ye
be
come]
to
betray
me
to
mine
enemies,
seeing
[there
is]
no
wrong
in
mine
hands,
the
God
of
our
fathers
look
[thereon],
and
rebuke
[it].
18
Then
the
spirit
came
upon
Amasai,
[who
was]
chief
of
the
captains,
[and
he
said],
Thine
[are
we],
David,
and
on
thy
side,
thou
son
of
Jesse:
peace,
peace
[be]
unto
thee,
and
peace
[be]
to
thine
helpers;
for
thy
God
helpeth
thee.
Then
David
received
them,
and
made
them
captains
of
the
band.
19
And
there
fell
[some]
of
Manasseh
to
David,
when
he
came
with
the
Philistines
against
Saul
to
battle:
but
they
helped
them
not:
for
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
upon
advisement
sent
him
away,
saying,
He
will
fall
to
his
master
Saul
to
[the
jeopardy
of]
our
heads.
20
As
he
went
to
Ziklag,
there
fell
to
him
of
Manasseh,
Adnah,
and
Jozabad,
and
Jediael,
and
Michael,
and
Jozabad,
and
Elihu,
and
Zilthai,
captains
of
the
thousands
that
[were]
of
Manasseh.
21
And
they
helped
David
against
the
band
[of
the
rovers]:
for
they
[were]
all
mighty
men
of
valour,
and
were
captains
in
the
host.
22
For
at
[that]
time
day
by
day
there
came
to
David
to
help
him,
until
[it
was]
a
great
host,
like
the
host
of
God.
23
And
these
[are]
the
numbers
of
the
bands
[that
were]
ready
armed
to
the
war,
[and]
came
to
David
to
Hebron,
to
turn
the
kingdom
of
Saul
to
him,
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD.
24
The
children
of
Judah
that
bare
shield
and
spear
[were]
six
thousand
and
eight
hundred,
ready
armed
to
the
war.
25
Of
the
children
of
Simeon,
mighty
men
of
valour
for
the
war,
seven
thousand
and
one
hundred.
26
Of
the
children
of
Levi
four
thousand
and
six
hundred.
27
And
Jehoiada
[was]
the
leader
of
the
Aaronites,
and
with
him
[were]
three
thousand
and
seven
hundred;
28
And
Zadok,
a
young
man
mighty
of
valour,
and
of
his
father’s
house
twenty
and
two
captains.
29
And
of
the
children
of
Benjamin,
the
kindred
of
Saul,
three
thousand:
for
hitherto
the
greatest
part
of
them
had
kept
the
ward
of
the
house
of
Saul.
30
And
of
the
children
of
Ephraim
twenty
thousand
and
eight
hundred,
mighty
men
of
valour,
famous
throughout
the
house
of
their
fathers.
31
And
of
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh
eighteen
thousand,
which
were
expressed
by
name,
to
come
and
make
David
king.
32
And
of
the
children
of
Issachar,
[which
were
men]
that
had
understanding
of
the
times,
to
know
what
Israel
ought
to
do;
the
heads
of
them
[were]
two
hundred;
and
all
their
brethren
[were]
at
their
commandment.
33
Of
Zebulun,
such
as
went
forth
to
battle,
expert
in
war,
with
all
instruments
of
war,
fifty
thousand,
which
could
keep
rank:
[they
were]
not
of
double
heart.
34
And
of
Naphtali
a
thousand
captains,
and
with
them
with
shield
and
spear
thirty
and
seven
thousand.
35
And
of
the
Danites
expert
in
war
twenty
and
eight
thousand
and
six
hundred.
36
And
of
Asher,
such
as
went
forth
to
battle,
expert
in
war,
forty
thousand.
37
And
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan,
of
the
Reubenites,
and
the
Gadites,
and
of
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
with
all
manner
of
instruments
of
war
for
the
battle,
an
hundred
and
twenty
thousand.
38
All
these
men
of
war,
that
could
keep
rank,
came
with
a
perfect
heart
to
Hebron,
to
make
David
king
over
all
Israel:
and
all
the
rest
also
of
Israel
[were]
of
one
heart
to
make
David
king.
39
And
there
they
were
with
David
three
days,
eating
and
drinking:
for
their
brethren
had
prepared
for
them.
40
Moreover
they
that
were
nigh
them,
[even]
unto
Issachar
and
Zebulun
and
Naphtali,
brought
bread
on
asses,
and
on
camels,
and
on
mules,
and
on
oxen,
[and]
meat,
meal,
cakes
of
figs,
and
bunches
of
raisins,
and
wine,
and
oil,
and
oxen,
and
sheep
abundantly:
for
[there
was]
joy
in
Israel.
