1 Chronicles 12:23-40
23And these are the numbers of the heads of them that were armed for war, who cameH935 to DavidH1732 to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of Jehovah. 24The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, armedH2502 for warH6635. 25Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the warH6635, seven thousandH505 and one hundredH3967. 26Of the children of Levi four thousandH505 and six hundredH3967. 27And Jehoiada was the leader of the house of Aaron; and with him were three thousandH505 and seven hundredH3967, 28and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty and twoH3967 captains. 29And of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the houseH1004 of Saul. 30And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousandH505 and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ housesH1004. 31And of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousandH505, who were mentioned by nameH8034, to come and make David king. 32And of the children of Issachar, 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. 33Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the host, that could set the battle in array, with all manner of instruments of war, fifty thousand, and that could order the battle array, and were not of double heart. 34And of Naphtali a thousandH505 captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousandH505. 35And of the Danites that could set the battle in array, twenty and eight thousandH505 and six hundred. 36And of Asher, such as were able to go out in the host, that could set the battleH4421 in array, forty thousandH505. 37And on the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of warH4421 for the battleH4421, a hundred and twenty thousandH505.
38All these, being men of warH4421, that could order the battleH4421 array, 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. 39And they were there with DavidH1732 three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had made preparation for them. 40Moreover they that wereH1961 nigh unto them, even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, victuals of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance: for there wasH1961 joy in Israel.
