13:012:012 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13:012:013 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
13:012:014 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.
13:012:015 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.
13:012:016 And there came of the children of Benjamin
and Judah to the
hold
unto David.
13:012:017 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.
13:012:018 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.
13:012:019 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.
13:012:020 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.
13:012:021 And they helped David against the band
of the rovers: for they
were
all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the
host.
13:012:022 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.
13:012:023 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.
13:012:024 The children of Judah that bare shield
and spear were six
thousand
and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
13:012:025 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of
valour for the war,
seven
thousand and one hundred.
13:012:026 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
13:012:027 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites,
and with him
were
three thousand and seven hundred;
