Now these are they that came⁹³⁵ to David¹⁷³² to Ziklag,⁶⁸⁶⁰ while he yet kept himself close⁶¹¹³ because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Kish:⁷⁰²⁷ and they were among the mighty men,¹³⁶⁸ helpers⁵⁸²⁶ of the war.⁴⁴²¹

They were armed⁵⁴⁰¹ with bows,⁷¹⁹⁸ and could use both the right hand³²³¹ and the left⁸⁰⁴¹ in hurling stones⁶⁸ and shooting arrows²⁶⁷¹ out of a bow,⁷¹⁹⁸ even of Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ brethren²⁵¹ of Benjamin.¹¹⁴⁴

The chief⁷²¹⁸ was Ahiezer,²⁹⁵ then Joash,³¹⁰¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Shemaah⁸⁰⁹⁴ the Gibeathite;¹³⁹⁵ and Jeziel,³¹⁴⁹ and Pelet,⁶⁴⁰⁴ the sons¹¹²¹ of Azmaveth;⁵⁸²⁰ and Berachah,¹²⁹⁴ and Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the Antothite,⁶⁰⁶⁹

And Ismaiah³⁴⁶⁰ the Gibeonite,¹³⁹³ a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ among the thirty,⁷⁹⁷⁰ and over the thirty;⁷⁹⁷⁰ and Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ and Jahaziel,³¹⁶⁶ and Johanan,³¹¹⁰ and Josabad³¹⁰⁷ the Gederathite,¹⁴⁵²

Eluzai,⁴⁹⁸ and Jerimoth,³⁴⁰⁶ and Bealiah,¹¹⁸³ and Shemariah,⁸¹¹⁴ and Shephatiah⁸²⁰³ the Haruphite,²⁷⁴¹

Elkanah,⁵¹¹ and Jesiah,³⁴⁴⁹ and Azareel,⁵⁸³² and Joezer,³¹³⁴ and Jashobeam,³⁴³⁴ the Korhites,⁷¹⁴⁵

And Joelah,³¹³² and Zebadiah,²⁰⁶⁹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Jeroham³³⁹⁵ of Gedor.¹⁴⁴⁶

And of the Gadites¹⁴²⁵ there separated⁹¹⁴ themselves unto David¹⁷³² into the hold⁴⁶⁷⁹ to the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ men¹³⁶⁸ of might,²⁴²⁸ and men⁵⁸² of war⁶⁶³⁵ fit for the battle,⁴⁴²¹ that could handle⁶¹⁸⁶ shield⁶⁷⁹³ and buckler,⁷⁴²⁰ whose faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ were like the faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ of lions,⁷³⁸ and were as swift⁴¹¹⁶ as the roes⁶⁶⁴³ upon the mountains;²⁰²²

Ezer⁵⁸²⁹ the first,⁷²¹⁸ Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² the second,⁸¹⁴⁵ Eliab⁴⁴⁶ the third,⁷⁹⁹²

Mishmannah⁴⁹²⁵ the fourth,⁷²⁴³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the fifth,²⁵⁴⁹

Attai⁶²⁶² the sixth,⁸³⁴⁵ Eliel⁴⁴⁷ the seventh,⁷⁶³⁷

Johanan³¹¹⁰ the eighth,⁸⁰⁶⁶ Elzabad⁴⁴³ the ninth,⁸⁶⁷¹

Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the tenth,⁶²²⁴ Machbanai⁴³⁴⁴ the eleventh.⁶²⁴⁹

These were of the sons¹¹²¹ of Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ captains⁷²¹⁸ of the host:⁶⁶³⁵ one²⁵⁹ of the least⁶⁹⁹⁶ was over an hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ and the greatest¹⁴¹⁹ over a thousand.⁵⁰⁵

These are they that went over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan³³⁸³ in the first⁷²²³ month,²³²⁰ when it had overflown⁴³⁹⁰ all his banks;¹⁴¹⁵ and they put to flight¹²⁷² all them of the valleys,⁶⁰¹⁰ both toward the east,⁴²¹⁷ and toward the west.⁴⁶²⁸

And there came⁹³⁵ of the children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ and Judah³⁰⁶³ to the hold⁴⁶⁷⁹ unto David.¹⁷³²

And David¹⁷³² went out³³¹⁸ to meet⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, If ye be come⁹³⁵ peaceably⁷⁹⁶⁵ unto me to help⁵⁸²⁶ me, mine heart³⁸²⁴ shall be knit³¹⁶² unto you: but if ye be come to betray⁷⁴¹¹ me to mine enemies,⁶⁸⁶² seeing there is no³⁸⁰⁸ wrong²⁵⁵⁵ in mine hands,³⁷⁰⁹ the Elohim⁴³⁰ of our fathers¹ look⁷²⁰⁰ thereon, and rebuke³¹⁹⁸ it.

Then the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ came upon³⁸⁴⁷ Amasai,⁶⁰²² who was chief⁷²¹⁸ of the captains,⁷⁹⁹¹ and he said, Thine are we, David,¹⁷³² and on thy side, thou son¹¹²¹ of Jesse:³⁴⁴⁸ peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ be unto thee, and peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ be to thine helpers;⁵⁸²⁶ for thy Elohim⁴³⁰ helpeth⁵⁸²⁶ thee. Then David¹⁷³² received⁶⁹⁰¹ them, and made⁵⁴¹⁴ them captains⁷²¹⁸ of the band.¹⁴¹⁶

And there fell⁵³⁰⁷ some of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ to David,¹⁷³² when he came⁹³⁵ with the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ against Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ to battle:⁴⁴²¹ but they helped⁵⁸²⁶ them not: for the masters⁵⁶³³ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ upon advisement⁶⁰⁹⁸ sent him away,⁷⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ He will fall⁵³⁰⁷ to his master¹¹³ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ to the jeopardy of our heads.⁷²¹⁸

As he went³²¹² to Ziklag,⁶⁸⁶⁰ there fell⁵³⁰⁷ to him of Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ Adnah,⁵⁷³⁴ and Jozabad,³¹⁰⁷ and Jediael,³⁰⁴³ and Michael,⁴³¹⁷ and Jozabad,³¹⁰⁷ and Elihu,⁴⁵³ and Zilthai,⁶⁷⁶⁹ captains⁷²¹⁸ of the thousands⁵⁰⁵ that were of Manasseh.⁴⁵¹⁹

And they helped⁵⁸²⁶ David¹⁷³² against the band¹⁴¹⁶ of the rovers: for they were all mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valour,²⁴²⁸ and were captains⁸²⁶⁹ in the host.⁶⁶³⁵

For at that time⁶²⁵⁶ day³¹¹⁷ by day³¹¹⁷ there came⁹³⁵ to David¹⁷³² to help⁵⁸²⁶ him, until it was a great¹⁴¹⁹ host,⁴²⁶⁴ like the host⁴²⁶⁴ of Elohim.⁴³⁰

And these are the numbers⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the bands⁷²¹⁸ that were ready armed²⁵⁰² to the war,⁶⁶³⁵ and came⁹³⁵ to David¹⁷³² to Hebron,²²⁷⁵ to turn⁵⁴³⁷ the kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ to him, according to the word⁶³¹⁰ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

The children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ that bare⁵³⁷⁵ shield⁶⁷⁹³ and spear⁷⁴²⁰ were six⁸³³⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ ready armed²⁵⁰² to the war.⁶⁶³⁵

Of the children¹¹²¹ of Levi³⁸⁷⁸ four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred.³⁹⁶⁷

And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ was the leader⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the Aaronites,¹⁷⁵ and with him were three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred;³⁹⁶⁷

And Zadok,⁶⁶⁵⁹ a young man⁵²⁸⁸ mighty¹³⁶⁸ of valour,²⁴²⁸ and of his father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ captains.⁸²⁶⁹

And of the children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ the kindred²⁵¹ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand:⁵⁰⁵ for hitherto the greatest part⁴⁷⁶⁸ of them had kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the ward⁴⁹³¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul.⁷⁵⁸⁶

And of the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ and eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valour,²⁴²⁸ famous⁸⁰³⁴ throughout the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers.¹

And of the half²⁶⁷⁷ tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ eighteen⁸⁰⁸³ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ which were expressed⁵³⁴⁴ by name,⁸⁰³⁴ to come⁹³⁵ and make David¹⁷³² king.⁴⁴²⁷

And of the children¹¹²¹ of Issachar,³⁴⁸⁵ which were men that had understanding⁹⁹⁸ of the times,⁶²⁵⁶ to know³⁰⁴⁵ what Israel³⁴⁷⁸ ought to do;⁶²¹³ the heads⁷²¹⁸ of them were two hundred;³⁹⁶⁷ and all their brethren²⁵¹ were at their commandment.⁶³¹⁰

Of Zebulun,²⁰⁷⁴ such as went forth³³¹⁸ to battle,⁶⁶³⁵ expert⁶¹⁸⁶ in war,⁴⁴²¹ with all instruments³⁶²⁷ of war,⁴⁴²¹ fifty²⁵⁷² thousand,⁵⁰⁵ which could keep rank:⁵⁷³⁷ they were not of double³⁸²⁰ heart.³⁸²⁰

And of Naphtali⁵³²¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ captains,⁸²⁶⁹ and with them with shield⁶⁷⁹³ and spear²⁵⁹⁵ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

And of the Danites¹⁸³⁹ expert⁶¹⁸⁶ in war⁴⁴²¹ twenty⁶²⁴² and eight⁸⁰⁸³ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred.³⁹⁶⁷

And of Asher,⁸³⁶ such as went forth³³¹⁸ to battle,⁶⁶³⁵ expert⁶¹⁸⁶ in war,⁴⁴²¹ forty⁷⁰⁵ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

And on the other side⁵⁶⁷⁶ of Jordan,³³⁸³ of the Reubenites,⁷²⁰⁶ and the Gadites,¹⁴²⁵ and of the half²⁶⁷⁷ tribe⁷⁶²⁶ of Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ with all manner of instruments³⁶²⁷ of war⁶⁶³⁵ for the battle,⁴⁴²¹ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand.⁵⁰⁵

All these men⁵⁸² of war,⁴⁴²¹ that could keep⁵⁷³⁷ rank,⁴⁶³⁴ came⁹³⁵ with a perfect⁸⁰⁰³ heart³⁸²⁴ to Hebron,²²⁷⁵ to make David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁷ over all Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and all the rest⁷⁶¹¹ also of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were of one²⁵⁹ heart³⁸²⁰ to make David¹⁷³² king.⁴⁴²⁷

And there they were with David¹⁷³² three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days,³¹¹⁷ eating³⁹⁸ and drinking:⁸³⁵⁴ for their brethren²⁵¹ had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for them.

Moreover they that were nigh⁷¹³⁸ them, even unto Issachar³⁴⁸⁵ and Zebulun²⁰⁷⁴ and Naphtali,⁵³²¹ brought⁹³⁵ bread³⁸⁹⁹ on donkeys,²⁵⁴³ and on camels,¹⁵⁸¹ and on mules,⁶⁵⁰⁵ and on oxen,¹²⁴¹ and meat,³⁹⁷⁸ meal,⁷⁰⁵⁸ cakes¹⁶⁹⁰ of figs, and bunches of raisins,⁶⁷⁷⁸ and wine,³¹⁹⁶ and oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and oxen,¹²⁴¹ and sheep⁶⁶²⁹ abundantly:⁷²³⁰ for there was joy⁸⁰⁵⁷ in Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
