1And these [are] they that came to Sikelag, when he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kis; and these [were] among the mighty, aiding [him] in war, 2and [using] the bow with the right hand and with the left, and slingers with stones, and [shooters] with bows. Of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin, 3the chief [was] Achiezer, and Joas son of Asma the Gabathite, and Joel and Jophalet, sons of Asmoth, and Berchia, and Jeul of Anathoth, 4and Samaias the Gabaonite a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; [and] Jeremia, and Jeziel, and Joanan, and Jozabath of Gadarathiim, 5Azai and Arimuth, and Baalia, and Samaraia, and Saphatias of Charaephiel, 6Helcana, and Jesuni, and Ozriel, and Jozara, and Sobocam, and the Corites, 7and Jelia and Zabadia, sons of Iroam, and the [men] of Gedor. 8And from Gad these separated themselves to David from the wilderness, strong mighty men of war, bearing shields and spears, and their faces [were as] the face of a lion, and they were nimble as roes upon the mountains in speed. 9Aza the chief, Abdia the second, Eliab the third, 10Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth, 11Jethi the sixth, Eliab the seventh, 12Joanan the eighth, Eleazer the ninth, 13Jeremia the tenth, Melchabanai the eleventh. 14These [were] chiefs of the army of the sons of Gad, the least one commander of one hundred, and the greatest one of a thousand. 15These [are] the [men] that crossed over Jordan in the first month, and it had overflowed all its banks; and they drove out all the inhabitants of the valleys, from the east to the west. 16And there came [some] of the sons of Benjamin and Juda to the assistance of David. 17And David went out to meet them, and said to them, If you⌃ are come peaceably to me, let my heart be at peace with you: but if [you⌃ are come] to betray me to my enemies unfaithfully, the God of your fathers look upon it, and reprove it. 18And the Spirit came upon Amasai, a captain of the thirty, and he said, Go, David, son of Jesse, you and your people, peace, peace be to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God has helped you. And David received them, and made them captains of the forces. 19And [some] came to David from Manasse, when the Philistines came against Saul to war: and he helped them not, because the captains of the Philistines took counsel, saying, With the heads of those men will he return to his master Saul. 20When David was going to Sikelag, there came to him of Manasse, Edna and Jozabath, and Rodiel, and Michael, and Josabaith, and Elimuth, and Semathi: [these] are the captains of thousands of Manasse. 21And they fought on the side of David against a troop, for they [were] all men of might; and they were commanders in the army, [because] of [their] might. 22For daily men came to David, [till they amounted] to a great force, as the force of God. 23And these [are] the names of the commanders of the army, who came to David to Chebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him according to the word of the Lord. 24The sons of Juda, bearing shields and spears, six thousand and eight hundred mighty in war. 25Of the sons of Symeon mighty for battle, seven thousand and one hundred. 26Of the sons of Levi, four thousand and six hundred. 27And Joadas the chief [of the family] of Aaron, and with him three thousand and seven hundred. 28And Sadoc, a young [man] mighty in strength, and [there were] twenty-two leaders of his father's house. 29And of the sons of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand: and still the greater part of them kept the guard of the house of Saul. 30And of the sons of Ephraim, twenty thousand and eight hundred mighty men, famous in the houses of their fathers. 31And of the half-tribe of Manasse, eighteen thousand, even [those] who were named by name, to make David king. 32And of the sons of Issachar having wisdom with regard to the times, knowing what Israel should do, two hundred; and all their brethren with them. 33And of Zabulon they that went out to battle, with all weapons of war, [were] fifty thousand to help David, not weak-handed. 34And of Nephthali a thousand captains, and with them [men] with shields and spears, thirty-seven thousand. 35And of the Danites [men] ready for war twenty-eight thousand and eight hundred. 36And of Aser, they that went out to give aid in war, forty thousand. 37And from the country beyond Jordan, from Ruben, and the Gadites, and from the half-tribe of Manasse, one hundred and twenty thousand, with all weapons of war. 38All these [were] men of war, setting [the army] in battle array, with a peaceful mind [towards him], and they came to Chebron to make David king over all Israel: and the rest of Israel [were of] one mind to make David king. 39And they were there three days eating and drinking, for their brethren [had] made preparations. 40And their neighbors, as far as Issachar and Zabulon and Nephthali, brought to them upon camels, and asses, and mules, and upon calves, food, meal, cakes of figs, raisins, wine, and oil, calves and sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.
